HSGSenju: I wanted for quite some time to make my own version of Anakin one where he actually thinks on his actions, questions Palpatine instead listening to every word as it is true when he just found out his is a SITH FREAKING LORD, I mean wouldn't you question if you were in Anakin shoes.

This is my first attempt at a story so go easy me; any constructive criticism is most helpful.

Anakin goes to the Chancellor's office. He sees the Palpatine looking to the skies of Coruscant through the window.

"Chancellor, we have just received a report from Master Kenobi. He has engaged General Grievous."

Palpatine turns around. "We can only hope that Master Kenobi is up to the challenge."

Anakin looks on with a nervous expression, "I should be there with him."

The Chancellor puts on a withered face, "It is upsetting to me to see that the Council doesn't seem to fully appreciate your talents. Don't you wonder why they won't make you a Jedi Master?"

Anakin contemplates on this question. "I wish I knew. More and more I get the feeling that I am being excluded from the Council. I know there are things about the Force that they are not telling me. "

"They don't trust you, Anakin. They see your future. They know your power will be too strong to control. Anakin, you must break through the fog of lies the Jedi have created around you. Let me help you to know the subtleties of the Force."

They walk side by side through the hallway.

"How do you know the ways of the Force?"

"My mentor taught me everything about the Force . . . even the nature of the dark side."

Anakin stops and face him.

"You know the dark side?!"

"Anakin, if one is to understand the great mystery,... one must study all its aspects, not just the dogmatic, narrow view of the Jedi. If you wish to become a complete and wise leader, you must embrace a larger view of the Force. Be careful of the Jedi, Anakin. ...They fear you. In time they will destroy you. Let me train you. "

Anakin put is mental shields as strong as possible thinks for a minute "Train me! Why is he the Supreme chancellor then if he knows the force, is this why he befriended me, to manipulate and use me, was he really my friend to begin with, what is his end game".

"I won't be a pawn in your political game. The Jedi are my family."
Palpatine looks through Anakin trying to see into his mind. Thinks of his original plan to seduce what he thinks is his ultimate weapon.
"Only through me can you achieve a power greater than any Jedi. Learn to know the dark side of the Force, Anakin, and you will be able to save your wife from certain death."

"What did you say?" Anakin whispers

"Use my knowledge, I beg you . . ."
Anakin comes to realisation that...
"You're the Sith Lord!" he exclaimed whilst igniting his lightsaber

" I know what has been troubling you . . . Listen to me. Don't continue to be a pawn of the Jedi Council! Ever since I've known you, you've been searching for a life greater than that of an ordinary Jedi . . . a life of significance, of conscience."
"Pawn of the Jedi, he want me as his...his apprentice, to destroy the Jedi that what Sith ultimately want right? and his want me to do it?"
" You're wrong!" Anakin says.

"Are you going to kill me?" with lightsaber still ignited in front of his face.
"Am I? Is it not my destiny as Qui-gon said, Qui-gon believed in me as a Jedi"

"I would certainly like to" Anakin responds, he didn't know what to say.

"I know you would. I can feel your anger. It gives you focus, makes you stronger."

Anakin tenses at this and remembers.

Flashback

Anakin returns from the council where he was made the personal representative of the Chancellor. He goes to Padme apartment sees her in the kitchen.

"Ani your back" Padme sees Anakin face and knows something wrong. "What going on Anakin"

Anakin angry no furious, and Padme need not be a force sensitive to know.

"I've been put on the Jedi Council"

"That's great isn't that what you wanted" her concern grows.

"Yes I was put as the chancellor representative, they didn't make me master, it's embarrassing"

Padme puts her hands to Anakin cheeks, "Anakin what are you feeling right know",

"I'm angry and-"Anakins says, Padme interrupts.

"Didn't you tell me Jedi shouldn't be angry that they be at peace" Anakin reaches Padme hands and holds them.

"That's different" Anakin replies.

"In what way,-

"It just is!" he exclaimed, Padme release his hands steps back.

Anakin turns away, Padme hugs Anakin from behind.

"Ani , I hate seeing you angry, you're like a different person, I want my Anakin, one comforts me, and when I see those beautiful sky blue eyes and filled with nothing but love"

Anakin turns and looks at Padme eyes, "Dont be that person Ani, when your angry you make mistakes you regret and even I do but...",she pauses "remember when we went to Tatooine and you regretted what you did,...yeah Ani" Padme holds Anakin face and kisses him. "Promise me Ani, we have child to think about, Promise me"

Anakin thinks what she says, he still remembers that night, it gave him gratification which he now regrets doing, and he knows he is a different person when he invokes that anger , anger which is of dark side which he mustn't do as the Chosen One which may make him the thing he sought to destroy as the chosen one.

"I promise" Anakin he murmurs Padme releases him.

"Go to Obi Wan, he can teach you some Jedi thingy to help you keep calm even I have to calm during senatorial proceedings" Padme says.

"Why Obi Wan" Anakin exhales

"Just please Ani, I don't like it when you're like that" Padme says

"Yes of course milady" Anakin replies in a posh voice and bows.

"Just go" and throes an apple at him, which levitates into his hand put on the worktop.

"Yes yes of course" Anakin says in his normal voice.

"I love you" Padme goes to her husband.

"I love you too" and both kiss once more before Anakin goes to Obi Wan to learn to release his anger into the Force.

Flashback ends

Anakin raises his lightsaber to PALPATINE's throat. There is a tense moment, then Anakin realises, he was going to stike the man down in anger as he had done with Dooku so turns off his lightsaber. On guard but still confused he says "I am going to turn you over to the Jedi Council"

"Of course you should. But you're not sure of their intentions, are you? What if I am right and they are plotting to take over the Republic?"

Anakin thinks, "I am not sure of yours either." But he did not say that unsure what the response might be, instead "I will quickly discover the truth of all this."

"You have great wisdom, Anakin. Know the power of the dark side. The power to save Padme.
Anakin stares at him "how would he have power is not the power of Darth Plagueis"
Anakin looks at him for a moment. "How do you know of Darth Plagueis?"

Palpatine replies "He was my master". Anakin thinks back to the time when he learned of this, where he learned the apprentice killed the master in his sleep. He eyes wide open realises that Palpatine whatever he does will one day betray him if it is in his advantage.

" I have him now, he thinks I know the power save when we will only destroy and rule the galaxy as Sith once more" Palpatine puts on a kind face turns around and heads to his office in satisfaction unaware of the change he has caused. "I am not going anywhere. You have time to decide my fate. Perhaps you'll reconsider and help me rule the galaxy for the good of all . . ."

Palpatine no... Sidious sits behind his desk, his throne of power, unaware of the future.

Anakin now knows that whatever Sidious says is perhaps lies and that he is evil.

What do you think? Anakin in this situation is confused but knows that Sith are Evil but he does want to save his wife also, he is at a crossroads.
