Prologue:
After Darth Vader threw the Emperor down the shaft down the death star, to save his own son, Anakin Skywalker had woken from the darkness and redeemed himself into the light. The Darkness that consumed him, the personality that was Vader, was vanished. The electricity of the Emperor's force lightning damaged the circuity in his life-support unit, left Skywalker with only a few breaths of life. While storm troopers and captains ran for their lives, Luke dragged him and his father to a safe corner. The young Skywalker lifted his father up so he could see him clearly, and to make sure his father was alright.
"Luke, help me take this mask off." The former Sith Lord requested.
"But you'll die." The Jedi protested.
"Nothing can stop that now." His father stated. "Just for once, let me look on you with my own eyes."
Luke obeying his father's command took off the mechanical mask that was a reminder of Anakin's fall to the darkness.
Anakin's eyes met with his son, as they smiled for a bit.
"You were right about me, Luke." He said softly.
But the moment between father and son was short lived.
"Tell your sister, you were right." Anakin Skywalker spoke his last words, before going in to a deep slumber.
"Father?" Luke asked as he tried to wake up his father, but it was too late. Sadly, Luke took his father in his spaceship, and where on Endor, he placed his father's carcass on a pyre, at lit his up.
Luke watched as the flame engulfed the black armor, slowly reducing it to ash.
"Rest in peace, Father." Luke said softly. "Make you become one with the Force."
He left and within minutes, there was nothing left of Vader. Nothing left of Anakin Skywalker, the Chosen one.
Chapter 1: The Netherworld
"Wake up, Anakin." A voice spoke.
"Hm?" The Chosen one asked, as he woken up.
"I'm proud of you, my apprentice." Obi wan said as he smiled.
"Obiwan?" Anakin spoke shockingly.
"Fulfilled the prophecy you have." Another voice spoke.
"Master Yoda." Anakin spoke, as he bowed to the Jedi force ghost.
"What is this place?" Anakin asked curiously.
"This is the Netherworld of the Force. A place where force sensitives go after they die. Here is where force sensitives either accept the will of the force leaving no trace of their spiriturital identity, or they reject it."
"What happens when they reject it?" Anakin inquired.
"If they are strong enough, they will be able to reject the will of the force, thus retaining their spiritual identity and corporeal form. When that happens, they become what are known as force ghosts." Obiwan explained.
"Will I become a force ghost?" Anakin asked.
"Strong you still are, young Skywalker." Yoda commented.
"Your will is strong to reject the force, my Padawan. But there is still something you must fulfill before you become a force ghost." Kenobi stated.
"But I fulfilled the prophecy, I vanquished the Emperor, and I saved my son! What more is there to do?" Anakin asked impatiently.
"Anakin.." Obiwan scowled.
"Sorry, Master. Just a force of habit." The old Jedi smirked.
His master sighed. "Same as always."
"Anakin." Another voice spoke. One that he knew since his childhood.
"Master Quigon?"
"My padawan is right, Anakin. There is still one trial you must face." The late Jedi Master explained.
"What is it?" Anakin asked.
"Demons you have, young Skywalker. Face an ultimate enemy you must." Yoda commented.
"Who is this Ultimate enemy. Is he or she jedi or Sith?" Anakin asked.
"Neither. He is strong in the force, and he is you." Quigon answered.
"I don't understand." Anakin shook his head trying to process what was said.
"Good luck." Quigon said, as everything has disappeared in Anakin's eyes.
There was nothing but black, and Anakin could hear the sound of faint mechanical breathing.
"We meet at last, Skywalker." The voice spoke.
Anakin was confused, but when he saw the figure reveal itself, he was shocked upon belief.
"Vader.." He muttered, as he pulled out his blue lightsaber.
Chapter 2: Fighting the man of metal: Anakin vs Vader
"You can't escape the power of the dark side." The Sith lord commented.
"I redeemed myself! You are no longer a part of me!" Skywalker exclaimed.
"You will always be filled by anger, no manner how much good you have in you." Vader said, as he threw his lightsaber at him. "I will always be there!"
Anakin quickly used his lightsaber to deflect the attack, and pushed Vader back with the force.
Suddenly he found himself in Vader's force choke.
"Remember this move. This was the move you used on Padme on Mustafar." Vader goaded.
Anakin felt a surge of anger.
"Yes, give in to the dark side." Vader goaded.
"No.." Anakin croaked, as he closed his eyes and concentrated. Vader felt his power over his enemy slipping, and within moments, Skywalker released a burst of Energy that repelled Vader away.
Darth slowly got up, as he looked at Anakin.
"You can't win Darth. Every time you try to strike me down, I'll become more powerful then you can possibly imagine." Anakin smirked.
"You underestimate the power of the dark side." Vader replied. "Now accept your destiny and perish." He pointed his fingers at Anakin, and within seconds a burst of lightning shot out of his hands.
Force Lightning?! That's impossible! He thought, as he defended himself with his lightsaber.
"I know your moves, Skywalker.." Vader spoke as Anakin struggled to defend himself from his alter ego's lightning. "Your thoughts betray no."
"No, they don't!" Anakin shouted, as he hurled the lightning back at Vader.
The Sith Lord's battery pack short circuited. He fell to the ground with a thud, unable to get up.
Soon he found himself under the mercy of Anakin's lightsaber.
"How ironic. Being under the wrath of my own lightsaber." Vader scoffed.
Anakin said nothing. He just glared at him.
"Are you going to kill me?" Vader asked.
"I would certainly like to." Anakin answered.
"Then why don't you?" Vader retorted.
"Because that's not the Jedi way." Anakin said, as he deactivated my lightsaber.
"I may not be a Jedi, but even I know by now that even if I redeem myself by killing you, I would plunging myself into the dark side, a path that I was trying to get out of all these years." Anakin added.
Vader turned to look at his enemy, and got up.
"You have passed the first trial, Skywalker. Well done. But there is one more trial that awaits you. He is a younger version of me, your ultimate enemy. Defeat him and you will be on your way to becoming a force ghost."
Skywalker looked at him in confusion.
"Good luck." The Sith lord said, as he disappeared into the distance.
Then Anakin's eyes closed as he felt his body getting weak. Suddenly he fainted.
Chapter 3: A revisit to Mustafar: Anakin vs Pre suit Vader
"Let her go! Anakin!" A young Obiwan shouted as his apprentice force choked his wife to death.
"Obiwan? Anakin asked, as he opened his eyes. He looked at himself and to his shock and amazement his arms were weren't mechanical. Hm.. I've gotten younger. This was must be from when I fought in the clone wars. He thought.
His eyes quickly turned to Vader. "Not this one again.. " He groaned.
"Let her go!" Obiwan spoke fiercely, and his padawan released his grip on her.
"You turned her against me!" Vader screamed.
Before Obiwan could utter his line, Anakin stepped in.
"You have done that yourself!" Anakin shouted.
"Anakin?" Obiwan asked. "You're younger and.."
"Please Master." Anakin stopped him, his eyes turned to Vader who glared at him angrily.
"You will not take her from me!" Vader screamed.
"Your anger and your lust for power have already done that." Anakin replied.
"That's correct." Obiwan answered. "You have allowed this Dark Lord to twist your mind, until now, untl now you have become the very thing you swore to destroy!"
"Don't lecture me you two!" Vader spoke ignorantly. "I see through the lies of the Jedi. I do not feel the dark side as you two do."
"I've brought peace, justice, and security to my new empire!" The young Sith lord shouted.
"Your new empire?" Anakin smirked.
"Don't make me kill you." Darth Vader spoke coldly.
"I knew it would come to this." He drew his lightsaber out.
Anakin what are you doing? He's much too powerful to handle alone. Obiwan communicated through the force.
Don't worry Master. I know what's I'm doing Just take care of Padme. She's all I have left.
Alright then. I do hope you know what you're doing.
"I will destroy you." Anakin spoke furiously. "End you once and for all.."
"You will try." Vader answered, as he jumped up in the air.
Suddenly the two warriors battled furiously and ferociously.
"You can't win, Skywalker." Vader said, as he choked Skywalker to death, making him drop his lightsaber. "I'll put out of your misery."
Suddenly Anakin kicked him from behind. "So much hate." He choked.
Suddenly Anakin felt a kick in the stomach, as he fell to the ground. Suddenly he saw Vader about strike with his lightsaber. Quickly, he grabbed his (via force) to defend such a death blow from Vader. To Anakin's advantage he pushed off Vader, and made a spinning back spin, tripping Vader.
Quickly, Anakin went to the Mustafar controls, to make sure everything was alright.
"Ok, everything good's and.."
Suddenly Vader sprang up. Their lightsabers collided with the system causing it to malfunction.
"Vader!" Anakin shouted, as he tapped in to the dark side. His lighsaber furiously collided with his counterpart's and within moments, they were using the force against each other.
He's too strong.. Anakin struggled, and he noticed Vader was also struggling as well.
Suddenly they were hurled to opposite sides of the control room, and Anakin made a run through it. Driven by anger, Vader hunted him down.
Vader and Anakin fought intensely, jumping and climbing through many platforms above the perilous lava banks of Mustafar. Suddenly, they both were standing opposite of each other in a platform that was moving along the lava. They both glared at each other, ready to see which one would make the first move.
"This is the end for you, Skywalker." Vader glared at him.
"We will see." Anakin glared back. "You'll be happy to know, I'm full of surprises!" Suddenly, Skywalker made the first move.
Their lightsabers clashed and clashed, making a buzzing sound every second. Suddenly Skywalker looked back to see the High Ground that made him lose the duel in the past.
With quickness, and precision, Anakin Skywalker, leaped from the platform, to the "High Ground".
"It's over Vader, I have the high ground!" Anakin exclaimed. "I've won!" Maybe I should have listened to Obiwan He thought.
"You underestimate the power of the dark side!" Vader replied.
"Then try it!" Anakin goaded, preparing his lightsaber stance for the final blow.
Vader leaped high. With ease, Anakin cut Vader's arm and limps with one single slice. Vader screamed as he fell to the ground.
"See Vader! I told you but you never listened!" Anakin looked down.
Vader glared up at his enemy. Slowly but unsuccessfully, he tried to get back up, clinging to life with his mechanical arm.
"The Dark side will never win.." Anakin spoke silently. "You have lost."
"I hate you!" Vader screamed, before he met his untimely doom with the magma.
Watching Vader burning to death wasn't a pleasant moment to watch. Anakin had already experienced this before, so he knew what pain Vader was feeling right in this very moment. Either way, it was gruesome, but Anakin had to watch his mistake and folly again.
Should I save him? No, I, No he deserved it. Anakin thought, as he took Vader's lightsaber, and threw it in the lava.
Suddenly, Anakin felt a pain in his chest.
"What's happening to me?" He choked.
"Anakin!" Obiwan grabbed him. "Are you alright?"
"My time is up, Master." Anakin answered.
"What do you mean?" His master asked.
Anakin didn't say a word as darkness engulfed him.
Chapter 4: Becoming one with the force.. Finally..
"You did it, Anakin. Well done." The voice of an older Obiwan rang through his ears.
" I did?" The chosen answered, his eyes opening slowly.
"Look at yourself." Obiwan said. "You have become a force ghost like us."
"I did, huh?" He said, as he looked himself. He was transparent and light blue.
"Younger have you become, Skywalker." Yoda commented.
"Master Yoda." Anakin spoke as he observed the transparent green creature.
"Passed the trials you have. Force Ghost you are." Yoda said.
"I told you, Obiwan. Anakin is the chosen one." A voice rang.
"Master Quigon!" Anakin shouted, as he was marveled beyond belief of the return of a former master.
"Hello, Anakin." Quigon said. "It's good to see you."
Anakin smiled for the first time in years. It was the greatest joy in his life, second to being married to Padme, or being with his mother, who was obviously dead.
"You have been through some much. I have known you when you were a little boy, and even when you fell into the darkness, there's was still light in your heart. The emperor is vanquished, the prophecy is fulfilled, and balance is restored to the galaxy." Quigon praised him.
"It was thanks to my son." Anakin said humly. "He was the one that convinced me to turn on the Empeor."
"Although the love for Padme, drove you to the dark side it was the love of your son that brought you back." Obiwan said.
"Ironic it is." Yoda said.
"But the Jedi order. What will happen to it?" Skywalker asked.
"Your son will rebuild it back to the way it was. He will form a new jedi order to counter the remaining evils of the universe." Quigon answered.
"I know he can do it. I have full faith in my son." Anakin answered.
"He is the son of the chosen one, after all." Obiwan said. "If Anakin Skywalker is able to destroy the Jedi order, then his son must be able to rebuild it."
"Darth Vader, Master." Anakin corrected it. "Darth Vader massacred the Jedi order. Not Anakin Skywalker."
"Certain point of view I suppose." Obiwan said, looking at the error of his words.
"I must go my friends. My time is up." Quigon said, as his force ghost disappeared.
"Anakin." The former Jedi said.
"Yea, Master?" Anakin asked.
"We have a party to attend to.."
