REBORN

Chaos. For the first time, the Death Star was rocked by explosions . Imperial troops run in all directions, confused and desperate to escape.

In the midst of this uproar, Luke is trying to carry the enormous deadweight of his father's weakening body toward an Imperial shuttle. Finally, Luke collapses from the strain. The explosions grow louder as Vader draws him closer.

''Luke, help me take this mask off.'' Vader whispered.

''But you'll die.'' Luke responded.

''Nothing can stop that now. Just for once... let me look on you with my own eyes.'' Vader pleaded. Slowly, hesitantly, Luke removed the mask from his father's face. There beneath the scars was an elderly man. His eyes did not focus. But the dying man smiled at the sight before him.

''Now...go, my son. Leave me.'' Anakin said weakly.

''No. You're coming with me. I can't leave you here. I've got to save you.'' Luke said.

''You already have, Luke. You were right about me. Tell your sister...you were right.''

''Father...I won't leave you.'' Luke said desicively.

A huge explosion rocked the docking bay. Slowly, Luke rised and, half carried, half draged the body of his father, stumbled toward a shuttle. Luke dropped his father's body on the ground of the shuttle and powered up the engine. They barely escaped

While Luke was flying the shuttle, Anakin felt his scars fading, suit falling off and turning into a jedi robe, he could again breath and his hair started growing again. He was shocked and he also felt all of his limbs regrowing. Anakin Skywalker was truly reborn.

''Luke!'' he shouted. Luke turned back in his seat and his jaw dropped.

''Father how?'' Luke asked shocked.

''I don't know, my son. I think it's the will of the force you never can know everything about it.'' His father smiled.

''Wait until Obi-Wan sees you'' Luke spoke.''He never thought that you will return to the light side, especially that you won't need that suit anymore.''

Anakin sat next to Luke and spoke.''I have to ask him for forgiveness because without him I would never be a Jedi and if I would listen to him I would never believe Palpatine's lies and turned to the dark side. Especially I need to ask you and your sister for forgiveness.'' he pointed to Luke.

''I already forgave you father and I'm sure Obi-Wan forgave you too, but Leia will be a little harder because she is stubborn.'' Luke said softly. Luke knew that it will take a lot of time for Leia to trust him.

They we're silent for the rest of the journey to Endor. When they landed everybody already celebrated with the Ewoks. When Luke saw that his father was a little hesitant to leave the shuttle he said.''Father don't worry everything will be fine and I will vouch for you that you won't hurt anybody.'' Anakin just nodded and followed him outside. When Luke walked down the ramp everybody applauded.

When they quieted down a voice was heard.''Anakin…is that you?'' Obi-Wan said quietly walking toward him but Anakin still heard him.

''Yes master.'' he answered and they hugged like brother's.

''Anakin my old friend your back but how do you look so young.'' Obi-Wan asked.

''Will of the force I guess.'' said Anakin questioningly then he grinned.

''Why do you look old,master?'' and everybody started laughing.

''Okay.''Luke spoke.''May I introduce to you my father Anakin Skywalker.'' Then he looked at his father and hej ust nodded.'' Until recently known as

Darth Vader.'' everybody gasped and started shouting outraged.

''Kill him!''

''NO!'' Luke roared over the crowed.''He saved my life and killed the emperor.'' He waited a few moments for his words to settle in and continued.''He is changed, he will no longer kill anybody, he is no longer a Sith but a Jedi and he will help us rebuild the Republic.'' he finished.

''That true a feel his presence and it's light.'' Obi-Wan said when he saw that nobody was sure to believe Luke's words.''There is no longer darkness inside him but pure light.'' Many people relaxed at this words but they still seemed wary of Anakin. What happened next was unexpected Leia came forward stopped right infront of Anakin her face expressionless than she slapped him across the face.

''Don't think that I forgive you for what you've done.'' then she turned on her heels and went back to the party. The three Jedi just looked into her stunned.

''I deserved that and alot more.'' Anakin said casually.

''That nobody can deny my old friend.'' Obi-Wan said deadpanned and Luke just nodded.
