Chapter 1
Anakin Skywalker had finally redeemed himself. He save his son who was the last Jedi, brought balance to the force and more importantly killed the emperor. The man who had ruined the last 23 years of his life was finally dead. He had fulfilled the Chosen One prophecy at last. There are many regrets in his life like killing his wife, His best friend and destroying the entire Jedi order. But he knows now that the Jedi is in good hands. His Son and daughter's hands to be precise. Now he could finally rest in peace.
Anakin! Anakin! ANAKIN!
With that Anakin's eyes shot right open. "Obi-wan!?" Anakin had said really surprised. "How is this even possible I killed you on the first Death Star?"
"How many times do I have to tell you Anakin? Anything is possible with the Force. And besides your dead, I'm dead were all dead." Obi-wan had told him as in it wasn't that obvious.
"How long was I knocked out for?" Anakin had asked. "Well after you said bye to Luke and Leia since you don't know when you will be able to see them again I will say about half an hour."
"Where am I?" Anakin had asked his former master.
"Anakin I believe that I am not the right person to tell you because I can't even believe it myself." The old Master had said. "Oh yes and before you ask any more questions I would like you to know that there is only so much that I can tell you so try not to ask questions that I probably will have no answer to."
"Can I meet Padme?" Anakin asked Obi-wan. "You know just want to tell her how sorry I am for everything that ever happened."
"Anakin I know how much you loved her but just face the facts you won't able to meet her here if we don't get moving." That was the only thing that Obi-wan had told his former Padawan so they won't have to stay here too often.
"Right sorry Master." So they could keep on moving.
Since they were Jedi death to them would be like a normal day at the temple. Once you die you go to the death light side Jedi temple. The first person they met was Master Yoda and boy did Anakin wish that his spirit would die right now.
"Master Yoda will you accept my most humble apologies. Turning to the dark side was the biggest mistake of my entire life. I now realise that I was like a slave to the Emperor and that once he had gotten everything that he wanted he would have killed me himself. To this I am most deeply down to my heart sorry." Anakin had actually meant it; the past 23 years of his life were the worst he would have rather killed himself than actually stay at the emperor's side.
"Accept your apologies I do Young Skywalker. But now it is time that you accept mines." The old Master had told the young man.
"Accept you apologies for what Master Yoda?" Anakin had found it really strange that he was the one the wiped out the entire Jedi order and yet Master Yoda is the one who had to apologise.
"Years ago when Master Qui-gon brought you up for the council to see to train you to be a Jedi we at first rejected you and now we know that was wrong move #1. #2 is when we Jedi had the no attachment rule and you couldn't be with the one you love without there being secrecy. And also there would be more Jedi to Influence you to the right path and the Jedi order would've survived longer. The last one is that the council didn't trust you when we were trying to look for Palpatine to end the war. And for all those reasons we sorry Young Skywalker." Master Yoda had told Anakin the truth and he said it in regret like if he and the council hadn't done those things he might not have turned to the dark side.
"Thank you for telling me the truth Master Yoda. I think if I had known that before I wouldn't have had more respect for the council. Because before I had already known that they didn't trust me.
"Young Skywalker!" Anakin heard a voice call out to him. It was the same voice from the man that we thought he had killed the night the empire had risen. He had turned and saw that it was Mace Windu.
If Anakin thought Master Yoda was going to be bad Mace Windu would probably kill him and toss him over to the dark side for him to stay there.
"Master Windu I am so glad to see you." Anakin had said in a hasty tone. He and the Jedi Master didn't always see eye to eye. "Master Windu please do accept my most humble apologies. My actions that were taken that day were most inappropriate."
"I forgive you young Skywalker. But now I must ask you to forgive me." Now Anakin had defiantly thought that the forgiving the guy that practically helped kill you train now arrived at the station.
"Why must you be the one to get my forgiveness Master?"Anakin had to know this answer.
"Anakin you have always tried to be the best Jedi you could possibly be. But since I was on the council I was one of the members that influenced everyone to say no to what you were going to possibly try to learn, and for that I am very sorry. I was the one holing you back."
"I forgive you Master Windu." Anakin had told him.
Obi-wan had told Anakin it's time that we see Qui-gon. Anakin had agreed and both of the Jedi had said bye to the two masters.
"Ani!" Qui–gon had said as they approached Obi-wan's former master.
"Master Qui-gon! I haven't seen you in 36 years." Anakin said in response. He never thought he would ever see the man who told Obi-wan to train him ever again.
"You have grown up so much. But to me you will always be the 9 year old boy from Tatooine that I freed from slavery." Qui-gon had told Anakin as he was about to start crying by seeing the boy.
"Master I failed." Anakin said sadly. "I wiped out nearly the entire Jedi order. If it wasn't for Luke there might not even be a Jedi Order. The only reason why I turned to the dark side was because I started having visions of my wife who was Padme and she was dying. I'm so sorry for what I did over the last 23 years. You saved my life when you freed me from a slave, so you and Obi-wan could train me to become a Jedi and I have failed you all. But it seems the force has forgiven me letting die on the light side of the force."
"Anakin." Qui-gon had said. "I truly know everything. Like how Master Yoda says fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate and hate leads to suffering. Darth Sidious gave you visions of your mother dying to see what potential you would have when you got angry. See how much he would be able to expect from you when he turned you to the dark side. So then step by step he worked his way up the ladder to turn you to the dark side. For fear he used an old sith trick which can inflict the biggest fear of the person he chooses. Then for anger he eventually made sure that the council would start to mistrust you to make you angry like there was no one there for you anymore but your wife. Then he eventually made sure you would hate Obi-wan but as we all know that only happened when Obi-wan cut you up into little slices and hope that you would burn to death so we wouldn't have had to deal with Darth Vader again. And Finally Padme had died in childbirth but that was of a broken heart by everything you have done. But Sidious knew he could save Padme but at the same time he also knew that Padme may have been the only person who could've turned you back so that's why he didn't and he told you that she had died to make you suffer. You see now none of this is your fault it's the siths' fault."
Anakin was actually hearing the truth about everything that had ever happened in his whole life. The bad and how he turned to the dark side. He had finally understood how everything had happened in his whole life. Mainly the bad. If he could go back in time he would kill Sidious the day Mace Windu was going to arrest him but sadly that would never happen.
"Wow. I finally know the truth." Anakin had said shocked that the emperor was actually that bad of a person.
"Wait Master Qui." Anakin had said. "Why couldn't I kill Luke?"
Qui-gon was shocked to hear this question it certainly came up by surprise even Obi-wan who was having a drink at his Masters' private bar was shocked.
"Anakin! What on Spirit Coruscant do you mean by that?" Qui-gon and Obi-wan had said at the same time. The two of them where thinking that if Anakin had a second chance to do things right he would just blow it and kill Luke. The Last of the Jedi.
"By that I mean I'm the Chosen One so I could easily beat any Jedi in my way even Luke. But when I was a Jedi you could see so much skill in me and when I was a sith it was like where did all you skill and power go Anakin. You're much better than this as a Jedi."
Obi-wan and Qui-gon had gotten relieved. For a second there it sounded like if the force granted him a second chance to make things right he would just blow it. "Well Anakin when you and Obi-wan fought on Mustafar and he cut of your legs and left arm that left you immobilised. When your body started to burn by the lava that damaged your respiratory system. So the emperor fixed you up as much as he could and when he saw that he couldn't fix your lungs without killing you he gave you the suit. He knew that all the Jedi hadn't died in Order 66 so that is why he kept you alive so when the purges came he would easily wipe out the remaining Jedi. So the emperor gave you ok enough arms so you would still be able to use a lightsaber and the force. But the downside to those arms is that you cannot use them freely so if you were to ever turn on the emperor he would easily over power you."
"Whoa! So you mean once the emperor got the extinction of the Jedi he would have killed me since he would have no more use for me." Anakin just needed to hear this answer for clarification.
"Yes." Qui-gon had told him so he would know.
"Wow. The emperor may have saved my life literally, but the Jedi were the ones that always had my back this whole time." Anakin had just realized.
"Yes." Qui-gon had told him. "Oh yes and I know that you probably have a lot more questions so I will answer some of the ones that you have. Ok."
"Sure." Anakin had said. "So the First question is where is here exactly? I already asked Obi-wan but he said he's still trying to figure it out himself."
"The Force Anakin." Qui-gon had answered. "Remember since we were fighting for the light side we would stay at the light side. So for example how Count Dukoo was a Jedi than he turned to the dark side he has his Jedi life here and his sith life at the Dark side. So there is probably a Darth Vader at the dark side."
"You know what I can't believe that I didn't think of that myself before. Now my second question is that non force users that are still good like my mother and Padme, can they be here?" Anakin asked hoping that the answer was yes.
"Actually yes. I remember that I was the one who greeted your mother and Padme when they came. Too bad that Order 66 happened because that was like hell compared to the Jedi and sith war in the Old Republic. Like the battle on Geonosis it was like hell." Qui-gon had said, if only he could forget those days. "Oh yes you will get to meet them here soon.
"Now I'm not trying to waste too much of your time so, what was your role in this?" Anakin was curious to find out.
"What do you mean by that Anakin?" Qui-gon asked wanting to know what he meant by that.
"I mean everyone has a role. Mine was to destroy the sith. My son's is to rebuild the Jedi order. Yoda's is to train my son in the Jedi arts. Obi-wans was to protect my son until he was able to fight for himself, so what is yours?" Anakin hoped that this would be enough of a explanation to get an answer.
Qui-gons' answer was this, "Anakin I believe that my role was to find you. Just think of it, if I didn't find you, you wouldn't be where you are today. Or even worse a sith might've found you. Palpatine wanted his apprentice at the time Darth Maul to kill me. He knew that if I had lived during the battle when the time Order 66 came around no matter what he could influence in you, you would not have killed me. So with this I had died that was my role."
"Whoa I never thought of it that way," Anakin said. "But I do have 1 more question for you."
"Well what is it?" Qui-gon asked.
"Why could neither I nor Obi-wan beat each other on Mustafar?"
And with that question Obi-wan started paying more attention to the answers than anything else.
"Anakin you may be the Chosen One but when you were on Mustafar on Obi-wan he trained you since you were boy. So Obi-wan would know your skill and he would use it. But since he trained you, you might also know some of his moves so that is why neither of you could beat the other. For all I know the battle might even go on today if it wasn't for that foolish jump you had made. If you had made the jump you would have killed Obi-wan and you wouldn't need the respiratory system or the suit." That is all what Qui-gon had to say.
"Wow, Thank you Qui-gon for telling me all these things."
"You're welcome Anakin and if you need anything at all just tell me ok."
"Ok." Anakin had said.
And with that the two Jedi gave their Old Friend a hug said goodbye and left to go see Anakin's family.
"Obi-wan." Anakin said sadly.
"Yes my former padawan." Obi-wan had said in concern. He wanted to know if Anakin was alright before they left.
"Do you think that my mother & Padme will be glad to see me?" Anakin had asked as if he were scared. "The past 23 years of my life have been filled with hate, anger, regret and suffering. I'm just worried that once they see me they will hate me forever."
"Anakin you are the bravest man I ever knew. In fact you even gave your life so that your son could live. When your son was being tortured by force lightning you knew the risks if you helped him, you would be ending your own life right there. But Anakin Skywalker broke out and killed Vader to save his son from death. Now if that isn't bravery than I don't know what it is." Obi-wan had told his former apprentice. Every word that he had said is true.
"Thank You Obi-wan." Anakin actually did feel better.
"Now come on its time that you meet my mother." Anakin had told him.
And with that the two of them walked off to go and try to find Shmi.
