Some spacers back in the day said whenever colonizing the planets that Mustafar was a planet of pure hatred and evil, but some others say that seeing this boiling orb of Hell made them see the light of humanity that they're grateful for. This would do exactly that for a tormented young soul lost within the Hellish depths of corruption he swore to destroy as his master patronized him for. Waves of heavenly blue illuminated the fury-dimmed platforms of the factory. The two blades of light swinging in conflict like a dangerous machine anyone would be foolish to toil around with, one mistaken move could lead to a fatal wound and possibly an ascension to the heavens the blue blades represent. It was one mistake of a move that Kenobi failed to avoid as he did back at Geonosis and a lunge of Vader's saber pierced the shoulder of Anakin's former master.

Once realizing that he was about to destroy his own master, Anakin fell down on his knees and dropped his weapon observing with pain and realizing the fool he made himself. He realized that he was merely a jester to perform tricks for a manipulative politician. Yes, the Jedi were destroyed but not because they tried to overthrow the senate because they tried to overthrow the head of the senate, the source of all corruption explaining Obi-Wan's advice, "Never trust a politician." He destroyed the Jedi Order not out of the righteous crusade Palpatine claimed it was for, but out of hatred for the fact they disagreed. They compromised nothing, not even falling in love. They advised for him to let go, but letting go was just something he would not do. And now where was he? He had lost all he fought so furiously for, his wife, his family and everything he fought along his family to stand for. Everybody, gone all because of his obsession for eternal life for his wife.

The former Sith Apprentice looked upon Obi-Wan's body falling unconscious and blood and char starting to soak his robes. Anakin retrieved his and his master's lightsabers and went under his Master's good arm and reached under his legs to carry him towards the ship Padme flew to the planet. He saw a golden droid carrying his wife into the ship and he urged the droid, "Let's go Threepio?"

The Droid did the opposite in fear, "Please, Master Anakin, I was only trying to help her!"

Another shorter droid beeped a series of scolding sounds to Anakin and he replied, "I know what I did was stupid. Let's just get Obi-Wan and Padme to a nearby hospital."

While Threepio placed Padme on a bed and went to the cockpit to get the ship lifting off, Anakin placed Obi-Wan and got out a first-aid kit to heal the physical wounds he caused to his master, but only realizing his he would wake up with wounds only time could heal. After applying the bacta-soaked wrapping to the wound, the pain of the cut must have awakened Obi-Wan.

He rasply asked, "Anakin?"

The Jedi got on his knees and held Obi-Wan's hand, "You're going to be ok, I promise you."

As if giving him hope, the patient squeezed back and he replied, "The Force was with us, Anakin."

He only replied, "It still is."

The Master replied, "I do hope Anakin or else I will become one with it."

Anakin snapped, "Don't talk like that, Master! You made it through a war, you're going to make it now."

Suddenly the old master gave Anakin the most stern look he could and he replied, "The war is not over yet."

Nodding in acceptance Anakin replied, "I'm going to see the course to see if we're near a hospital."

He got up and saw Padme was still unconscious. He went down to check her pulse from her neck, there was a weak beat but still enough to live through a short trip, hopefully.


He exited the room and sat next to Threepio asking, "Did Obi-Wan have preset coordinates?"

"I was just piloting us to the hyperspace route."

In curiosity he asked, "What system?"

"I believe we'll be arriving at Polis Massa."

Strange, he never heard of the planet. Probably a reason that was chosen in case Vader lived long enough to destroy Padme and his child. He just can't believe that he almost killed her as he clenched his fist, combusting into tears and Threepio asked, "Master Anakin, I believe you are in an emotional outburst."

He replied, "Jedi don't harbor emotions."

The droid replied, "May I suggest it's a human emotion that causes you this then?"

The Jedi thought and he thought, "Fear is a path of the Dark Side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate and Hate...leads to suffering."

Why in death's name did he not listen to that little, green library of wisdom? Only twenty five years had he endured the galaxy's troubles and he dares questions a being of 900 years, accumulated wisdom he could never comprehend. He was lucky that he would even be able to become a Jedi. Something else kicked in, it was negative prophecies that led him to this state in the first place. Toss away the pessimism, there was still a war to fight.

The Golden droid was interrupting his thoughts, "Anakin!"

He calmly replied, "Yes, Threepio?"

"We arrived."

To be continued...


Will Bail Organa and Yoda accept Anakin back into the Republic or will they judge him for his treason? Will Padme and Obi-Wan live or become one with the Force?
