div style="font-family: Helvetica;"**Still looking for Beta Readers**br /br /"Master kenobi, to me you wish to speak? Hmm." Yoda said sensing Obi Wan's arrival into the temple room. br /br /"Yes, master. Yesterday when I went to talk to Senator Amidala there was no answer at the door but I felt three very strong force signatures. They were obviously humans but I can only think of two with that strong of a signature, Anakin and yourself." Obi Wan saidbr /br /"That is strange indeed, Master Kenobi. Hmmmmmmmmm." Yoda said "Mediate on this I will"br /br /— br /br /Anakin knew he should get up and sneak back over to the temple so he wouldn't be ass much trouble. He already knew that Obi Wan was searching for him and Padme's was the last place he wanted his former master to find him at. br /br /When he turned over In bed to see his sleeping wife, he got up and started getting ready to leave. This was all for her, she is everything to him. She is the one that keeps him going, keeps him in line, and even keeps him from the dark side. br /br /He gave Padme a small kiss on the cheek and went off on his way. He hoped her could get passed Obi Wan without being caught. How would he explain flying around at 6 in the morning. br /br /Unfortunately for Anakin, Obi Wan had just walked up to and knocked on Anakins door. Anakin couldn't turn back now because he had been seen. br /br /"Well good morning Anakin. I am surprised to see you up this morning." Obi Wan said br /br /"I couldn't sleep so I went for a morning ride" Anakin said br /br /Obi Wan desperately wanted to ask his friend and former Padawan about what he felt last night. Obi Wan thought of the pain Anakin would be In if he did ask and that was not Anakin over at Padme's last night so he decided to keep his mouth shut. br /br /"Oh I am here to collect you for a council meeting" Obi Wan said. "They wish to have you brief them about the mission since I was unconscious for most of it" br /br /Anakin did not want to tell his master what he had done but he knew he had to for better or for worse. br /br /"Master I can not do that, I did something awful there rescuing the chancellor. I will not be able to forgive myself" Anakin said br /br /"Anakin I am sure it is not that bad, go ahead and tell" Obi Wan saidbr /br /"While you were unconscious, I dueled Count Dooku, and eventually won. I had but his and my lightsaber on his neck. I was going to spare him, but the chancellor kept telling me to give into my anger and do it. It felt like he was more evil then we ever imagine. The worst part of it is that I killed Dooku with my anger." Anakin said "i am scared they are going to exile me from the order for this."br /br /His former master just looked at him for a minute just trying to think of something to say. This just added to the problems now even more so, Obi Wan though, first do all Padme is hanging around other guys judging from those force signatures; secondly, Anakin has killed a sith out of anger; and finally the chancellor as Anakin said is more evil then we /br /"Well, Anakin. I truly do not know what to say to that. You killed the right person but for all the wrong reasons. You should never kill out of hate or anger. I will try to help explain this out at the council considering you did save my life" br /br /"There is more to tell, master. The chancellor wanted me to leave you behind, I saw his attitude change when I bought you along. It was like everything was set up. I fear there is more to this then what we see." br /br /"Anakin let me ask you a question, out of everything that has been happening lately. What connects all of this together?" Obi Wan asked knowing the question but seeing if Anakin was on the same page as /br /"the chancellor..." Anakin said br /br /— br /br /"Knight Skywalker, we have summoned you here because we wish to hear in exact detail what happened on your mission to rescue the chancellor. Also how you managed to save Master Kenobi." Mace Windu saidbr /br /Anakin told them the story of finding what room the chancellor was in and then fighting off count Dooku. How Obi Wan was knocked out. In the middle of the story Anakin stopped right before telling what he did to count Dookubr /br /"Is something wrong, Knight Skywalker?" Mace Windu asked because Anakin had just completely stopped in the middle of the /br /"It makes so much more sense now. I completely understand it." Anakin said thinking to himself but just loud enough so everyone to hearbr /br /This time Obi Wan was the first to ask the question "What makes more senses?" br /br /"The Sith Lord, we have been attempting to track. I know his identify rather he realizes it or not." Anakin said br /br /At the mention of that, all the masters became increasingly interested in what came out of Anakins mouth. br /br /"The chancellor, is the Sith Lord. When Obi Wan was knocked out. Count Dooku launched another attack but this time I managed to defeat him. I had him at the edge of his blade and arresting him for his day in court, but the chancellor must have since the angry in me and told me to let it out. He was very persuasive, and I am sad to say I listened to him." Anakin finished br /br /The masters just sat there for a minute trying to understand all of what Anakin had just told them. That the chancellor of the republic was the Sith Lord they were looking for, and that he made Anakin kill an unarmed sith. br /br /"Keep a closer eye on the chancellor we must" Yoda /br /Mace Windu picking up where Yoda left off "but as for you knight Skywalker, we do not know what to do. On one hand you killed a sith, protecting the republic but on the other hand you killed him wrongfully out of anger."br /br /This is the part Anakin was scared of, if he would get kicked out of the order or not. He did not want to be kicked out because this was his life's dream. One the positive side though he could spent even more time with Padme and now there /br /"Punishment we would seek but you seem to be changed from the old Skywalker we once knew before this mission." Mace Windu finished br /br /The other masters were confused exactly what he meant but Anakin had understood completely. /div

div style="font-family: Helvetica;"Before Padme, Anakin was filled with hate and anger but now with her and especially with their kids along the way he has learned to look to the bright side of the force. He has everything he could possibly want. He had the love of his life and now he's so lucky to become a father. He has always wanted to become a father, since he never had one. /div
div style="font-family: Helvetica;" /div
div style="font-family: Helvetica;""No punishment, master? But I killed someone out of anger?" Anakin asked confused. /div
div style="font-family: Helvetica;" /div
div style="font-family: Helvetica;""Yes no punishment, Knight Skywalker." Mace Windu said "I believe I can speak for all of us in saying we all sense a difference in you. A major difference. If killing one sith wrongfully made you open up your eyes, then so be it. But if you do wish we can make you Obi Wans Padawan again. I am sure he has a list of punishment just waiting around for someone" /div
div style="font-family: Helvetica;" /div
div style="font-family: Helvetica;""I believe I will pass on that master Windu, I have already done far too many of those. They were not enjoyable." Anakin said. Anakin started to walk out the door because waved him away dismissing him to go do whatever but before he could completely get out the door Master Windu spoke again./div
div style="font-family: Helvetica;" /div
div style="font-family: Helvetica;""Anakin, judging from the information you have just told us about the chancellor, we would like to keep a closer eye on him. There is no way the council could do that without getting too involved in politics. We would request if you since you and the chancellor are so close to spy on him for us." /div
div style="font-family: Helvetica;" /div
div style="font-family: Helvetica;"Anakin did not like the fact that he had to spy on someone who was always there for him but he agreed to do it. The council had been forgiving of killing count dooku, so he would do whatever they wanted to please them. Anyways he now though of the positive he would be around Padme more, and of course there children. He could keep the safer. /div

div style="font-family: Helvetica;""Good evening Chancellor" Anakin said walking into his office /div

div style="font-family: Helvetica;""Anakin, my boy, how are you?" Chancellor Palpatine said welcoming him in and also dismissing his bodyguards. /div
div style="font-family: Helvetica;" /div
div style="font-family: Helvetica;""I am doing better then you. The order has intercepted word of attempted assassinations on your life and they have requested me to shadow over you for a few weeks if you would allow that" Anakin said hoping the chancellor would fall for the lie. Then again if Palpatine was the Sith Lord they had been tracking for so long, he would be reading his mind and feelings right now./div
div style="font-family: Helvetica;" /div
div style="font-family: Helvetica;""I would be honored to have the chosen one shadow me for a while. It is about time the council give you an actual mission. You should be a master by now! I would be so anger if I was you." Palpatine said /div
div style="font-family: Helvetica;" /div
div style="font-family: Helvetica;""Anger and hate leads to the dark side of the force, chancellor. That's a place no one wants to be. That's against what I stand for." Anakin said calmly /div
div style="font-family: Helvetica;" /div
div style="font-family: Helvetica;""My son, you have changed much. You used to be filled with anger and hate, where did all of that go?" Palpatine asked. He wondered where had his plan gone wrong? If Young Skywalker had not a drop of hate in him how would he finish his plan? How would he kill the Jedi? He would be outnumbered. /div
div style="font-family: Helvetica;" /div
div style="font-family: Helvetica;""I do not know but I have changed for the good of me and everyone I am close to." Anakin said./div

div style="font-family: Helvetica;" /div
div style="font-family: Helvetica;""The Jedi are not allowed to love, therefore I do not love." Anakin said lying through his teeth. /div
div style="font-family: Helvetica;" /div
div style="font-family: Helvetica;"The Sith Lord standing right in from of him knew better than that. He knew Anakin loved someone only love could change someone this much. He did not know who he did love though. He only talked to the council, myself, and the senator from my home planet. That's right, Senator Amidala. He loves senator Amidala./div
