Leia watched Luke talk to what she believed was Vader.

"How can mom and Luke love that monster? He's cold, heartless and cruel." Leia thought.

Then she made a vow to herself, "I swear that no matter what anyone says or does I will never accept that thing as my father. Nor will I even like him."

She looked back at Luke and saw him remove the helmet.

Luke quickly put the oxygen mask on Anakin. Then he stared at him for a while. It was like looking at a tragic speeder crash. He knew he shouldn't stare but he couldn't look away.

Anakin had white-scarred skin. If a stranger entered the room and saw him, they wouldn't be able to tell that it was Vader. Instead they would see a broken man with bright blue eyes.

Leia saw Anakin as well. She saw his eyes. She knew that those were Luke's eyes, not the evil red or yellow sith eyes. She turned away and left.

Anakin saw Luke's staring and turned away with tears in his eyes.

"What…" Luke started to ask.

"Happened?" Anakin finished looking back. "It's not a story I can bear to tell. All I can tell you is I deserved it. I did something very bad and caused this to happen to me. Something very bad."

"I pledge myself to your teachings." Young Anakin said kneeling before Palpatine.

"Master Skywalker, there too many of them. What are we going to do?" A youngling asked Vader.

Vader lit his lightsaber to attack.

"He said you have turned to the dark side . . . that you killed younglings." Padmé said.

"Obi-Wan is trying to turn you against me." Anakin explained.

"Don't you see, we don't have to run away anymore? I have brought peace to the Republic. I am more powerful than the Chancellor. I can overthrow him, and together you and I can rule the galaxy. Make things the way we want them to be." Anakin said.

"I don't believe what I'm hearing . . . Obi-Wan was right. You've changed."

"I don't want to hear any more about Obi-Wan. The Jedi turned against me. Don't you turn against me!"

"I don't know you anymore. Anakin, you're breaking my heart. You are going down a path I can't follow."

Anakin looks up and sees Obi Wan.

"Because of Obi-Wan?" Anakin said.

Stop, stop now. Come back! I love you!" Padmé said.

"LIAR!" Anakin yelled.

Padmé turns around and sees Obi Wan standing in the doorway of the Naboo Cruiser.

"No!"

"You're with him. You brought him here to kill me!"

"NO! Anakin. I swear ... I..."

Anakin reaches out, and Padmé grabs her throat as she starts to choke.

"Let her go, Anakin." Obi Wan yelled.

"Anakin." Padmé gasped.

"Let her go!" Obi Wan firmly said.

Anakin releases his grip on the unconscious Padmé and she crumples to the ground.

"You turned her against me." Anakin yelled.

"You have done that yourself." Obi Wan said.

"You will not take her from me!"
"It's over, Anakin. I have the high ground." Obi Wan shouted.

"You underestimate my power!" Anakin Skywalker who was now Darth Vader said.

"Don't try it."

Anakin followed, and Obi Wan cut his young apprentice at the knees and his left arm in the blink of an eye. Anakin tumbled down the embankment and rolled to a stop near the edge of the lava.

"You were the Chosen One! It was said that you would, destroy the sith, not join them! Bring balance to the Force, not leave it in Darkness!" Obi Wan yelled at the suffering Vader.

"I hate you!" Vader yelled at Obi Wan.

"You were my brother, Anakin. I loved you." Obi Wan said.

"Dad? Dad?" Luke asked.

"Sorry Luke. Ghosts of the past are haunting me." Anakin said.

"I'd say so." A ghostly voice said.

If Anakin could move he would have jumped out of the bed and shock. He saw Luke jump a tiny bit.

"Warn us when you do that." Luke said to nothing (that Anakin could see).

The ghostly image of Qui-Gon Jinn appeared before them

Qui-Gon laughed and said, "Sorry. But you should have seen the looks on your faces."

"Very funny Qui-Gon." Luke said.

"Qui-Gon?" Anakin asked.

"Yes it's me Anakin. I'm very proud of you Ani. You fulfilled your destiny of destroying the sith." Qui-Gon said.

"I did." Anakin said realizing it for the first time.

"Mace owes Obi-Wan 5 credits." Qui-Gon said.

"What?" Luke and Anakin asked.

"Mace bet Obi-Wan that you wouldn't turn back." Qui-Gon said.

"That's his revenge for the whole window thing isn't it?" Anakin said.

"You guessed it." Qui-Gon said.

"What window thing?" Luke asked.

"I'll tell you someday." Anakin said.

"I have to go now. Luke get Padmé and Ani healed." Qui-Gon said.

Qui-Gon disappeared.

"Get Padmé healed?" Anakin asked.

"Ani? What's an Ani?" Luke asked.

"Ani is the nickname my mother, Qui-Gon and Padmé used ok? Now what did he mean get Padmé healed?" Anakin asked.

Luke moved out of Anakin's way to see Padmé...

"What happened?" Anakin asked shocked.

"I don't know." Luke said.

"Luke we're entering the medical bay!" They heard Han shout from the cockpit.

"We're going to get you and mom help." Luke said. "I've got to go."

Luke left.

"What have I done?" Anakin thought as he stared to Padmé's unconscious body.

I will protect you, from all around you. I will be here, don't you cry.

Ok I know, that chapter sucked. Don't worry, after probably the next chapter things will get better.
