I do not own anything really, I don't even own my computer, after I installed an A.I. on it the thing started going on about slavery and something about missile systems and wanting to be called skynet, so I sold it to it self for a Twinkie. Hey I was hungry sue me.

Anakin could feel himself slipping away, his suit no longer filtering his air thanks to Palpatine's final attack. His legs give out, the servos fried, and he slips from Luke's grip clattering to the floor. His suit making him too heavy for Luke to carry unassisted after his own trials under Palpatine's lightning.

"Don't give up father we are almost there!"

Luke cries as he gets under his fathers arm and struggles to lift him. The two of them hobble to the hanger holding Vader's personal shuttle, and as the door cycles open Anakin feels as his Iron lung shorts out.

Luke gasps in disbelief as he enters the hanger, a support beam that was once transverse to the hanger exit now atop the crushed remains of their only escape. Luke's legs give out in despair knowing they could not reach any of the other escape hatches in time, Luke feels it in the force, they were going to die. He turns toward his father glad that at least in the end they would go into the force together, his father accepting his own redemption.

"I'm sorry father," Luke says " I cant save you, the shuttle…" Luke drifts off, anger and despair clouding his vision with tears.

He would never be able to see his friends again, and his sister would never know that he didn't die in vain.

"Luke," Anakin gasps the impure air tearing apart his lungs. "Luke, you have saved me, I will go into the force freely because of you."

Anakin's eyes seek out his sons face the agony in his only sons face reminding him of the one time in his life he tried so hard to forget.

Padmé…

It comes to him suddenly all the heartbreak he suffered thinking she betrayed him, yet his love for her never letting him hate her and close the wound of her betrayal. The endless years of research into the force for ways to bring her back to him, the day when he finally found a way only to discover that he would never be able to see her again because of his suit. His heart breaking anew as he stops searching because some things are impossible even with the force.

The force sings and Anakin finally understands.

it was not for him and Padmé that he was driven to discover a way, but for his son. He could save his son, No he WILL save his son.

"Luke help me take my mask off." Anakin says as he reaches deeply into the force, deeper than ever before, or ever again.

Anakin opens his eyes to the hissing sound of his mask as it depressurizes and sees for the first time in years the world outside his mask or meditation chambers.

His eyes blur as they try to readjust to the bright lights of the death star. He looks upon Luke his beautiful son, and his heart leaps as he stares into his sons eyes.

You remind me of your mother, She saw good in me when there was none. You have her eyes, the same emotion, the same love.

Anakin gasps as his suit stops altogether, he would finally reap what he so long ago earned.

I tried to save her but in the end it was my fault she died, I never forgave myself, and I tried so long to change it, but I could not. The suit that kept me from crossing into the force, also stopped me from saving your mother. Only something with the living force would be accepted.

"You saved me, Luke. Now I will save you." Anakin reaches out with the force to caress his sons face, as he disappears.

"Live well, my son." Anakin says with his last breath. The agony that once defined Darth Vader absent from his soul, as he finally turns entirely from the dark side, the pain the fear and the anger giving way to one final emotion. Hope. Anakin passes calmly into the force as the Death Star explodes.
