MirskianQueen: Since two heads are better than one in certain things, I've decided to coauthor this story with my beta... ForeverWildfire2.0
ForeverWildfire2.0: Which I'm having a lot of fun with as I love to offer ideas. All writers experience writers block. And we are no different. Wait... will this be on both our accounts?
MirskianQueen: I think having the story on both our accounts would be a good idea-
ForeverWildfire2.0: Lol, maybe we should get to the story... so without further adieu.
Both: ON WITH THE STORY!
REBORN.
Anakin renounced the darkside after he killed the younglings, horrified by what he had done, Anakin returned to Palpatine's office to confront him only to discover to Palpatine had already escaped. Anakin turned himself in when Obi-wan and Yoda returned. For his crimes, Anakin was sentenced to death.
But after his execution Anakin is brought back by the Force... With no memory of his past.
Chapter 2
Padme, who had obviously been crying, was confused... deeply confused. She had been there when the council had decided on executing Anakin. Only minutes before he was to be executed, she left... escorted by several jedi out of the temple. Not even allowed to say goodbye to Anakin. And here was Ahsoka and Obi-wan in front of her talking about Anakin's escape? "Ahsoka, what do you mean Anakin's escape? I thought the council had decided on executing him. What is going on here? Did they change their mind or what?"
Obi-wan shook his head, "Not exactly..."
"He came back," Ahsoka explained, "he was executed, and then he was brought back."
"Since he can't die exactly, the Council has him locked up in the Detention Center, permanently."
Obi-wan told her.
Ahsoka grinned, "So we're going to break him out..." Looking at Padme, she shrugged, "but we need your help."
"What can I do?" Padme asked, slightly smiling at the thought of being able to help her husband... but then she got slightly curious. She glared at both of them. "Wait a minute... there's something you're not telling me, isn't there?"
Obi-wan closed his eyes, "His memory is gone, he can't remember anything from his life before he died." Padme's eyes widened in horror and shock. Sorrow then filled her eyes.
"Meaning, he doesn't remember me..." She took a deep breath, and her eyes filled with determination. "You know what? I'll make him remember me. Somehow, with time and patience, I know his memory will come ba-" She was interrupted by Ahsoka.
"Do we really want his memory to come back? How will it affect him?"
Padme blinked, she hadn't thought of that. "How would you feel if you had a wife, children, but no memory of them?" She shook her head, "We have to help him remember, he'll want to remember. Whatever happens after that, however he's affected by his memories, we'll help him through it."
Obi-wan sighed as he rubbed his forehead. "So, now that we have that out of the way... How are we going to do this? Anyone have any ideas?"
Padme cocked her head, "You'll need a diversion." If they were going to get Anakin out, they needed someone to distract the Jedi long enough for them to escape. She grinned, "How about a distressed, pregnant wife, demanding to see her husband?"
Ahsoka snickered, "I think that along with 2 droids causing disaster could help a lot... after all C3PO can talk your ear off by himself. And R2-D2... enough said," She then paused. "of course, if C3PO just stayed with the ship, that might be better. Padme could distract the jedi, while R2 goes and turns off the lights. We know where Master Anakin is located, so it should be easy for us to find him."
Padme nodded, "Then let's do it." Anakin had stayed locked up long enough already.
A strange commotion seemed to be happening at the temple entrance... causing many jedi to gather; a commotion caused by none other than Padme Amidala Skywalker. "I demand to see Anakin. I know he is here, now let me see him!" Hearing a sigh, she turned to see Master Windu and Master Yoda heading towards her.
Yoda shook his head, "Senator Amidala, be here, you should not."
"He is my husband and the father of my baby," Padme glared at the ancient Jedi master, "I have every right to see him, and I demand to be allowed to see him now!"
"Senator, be reasonable-"
"Don't you dare tell me to 'be reasonable'!" Padme glowered at Master Windu, "let me passed now!"
R2 snuck around the Jedi and went to the light controls... quickly turning off the lights, making it seem like a power outage.
As soon as the lights went out, Obi-wan and Ahsoka quickly slipped inside, making their way to where Anakin was being held. Once they got to there, they saw he was awake. When he noticed them, he glared and backed away from them as far as he could.
"What do you want?" He snarled. Ahsoka had to blink in surprise at his hostility. Obviously, the council had visited him.
"Anakin, it's alright, we aren't going to hurt you." Obi-wan tried to convince him.
"In fact Anakin, we are going to help you escape. You hear me? You getting out of here." Ahsoka said awkwardly as she hadn't called him Master in hopes she wouldn't confuse him. Anakin looked at them suspiciously.
"How do I know you're telling the truth?"
"You don't. But do you have any other options?" Obi-wan said with a raised eyebrow. Anakin remained silent. Ahsoka then opened the cell and stood aside, letting Anakin cautiously walk past her.
"This way." Obi-wan told him, motioning for Anakin to follow him.
The Temple was eerily empty as they snuck back towards the entrance. Their footsteps seemed to echo against the ground even though they were being very quiet. Each of them began to feel a little paranoid... worrying that at any moment, they would be caught.
As they neared the entrance, Anakin stopped in shock at how one person could cause such a commotion. Although a sense of deja-vu hit him, he shook his head and continued on being Ahsoka and Obi-wan who had stopped for him. Once outside, they headed to a ship and got on. While Anakin was looking around the ship, he bumped into a small droid.
Ahsoka gave the droid a smile. "Good job, R2." Anakin looked at her curiously with an eyebrow raised.
"You're seriously going to praise a droid?" He then continued on.
'If only you knew...' Both Obi-wan and Ahsoka thought to themselves.
Padme suddenly entered the ship, a little steamed at the commotion she had caused. "Are we ready to go?" She asked.
Obi-wan looked at her with determination. "Actually Padme, I think I will stay behind for now. I can easily pretend I didn't have anything to do with Anakin's escape. That way, I can keep you informed about things, as well as try to convince the Council to change their minds."
Ahsoka gave him a look that asked if he was not thinking straight. "I'm fine, Ahsoka. But I need you two to look after Anakin. I will join you in a little bit. If I can't convince them, then I will ask for a leave of absence for a little while."
"But if the council finds out, won't they execute you or imprison you?" Padme ask concerned.
"The worst they can do is exile me as I have done nothing wrong other than let a prisoner free."
Obi-wan said as he was walking away and then turned back to them. "Take care of him. I'll see you all soon." He left the ship and snuck back into the temple. Padme quickly took off and they began the journey to Naboo.
