*Official Re-Write of Twist-of-Fate*

Thank you so much for reading! You guys rock :D A reviewer brought to my attention that the people on the council were dead. Good point. I guess there are only three members of the council at this point: Yoda, Obi-Wan, and Shaak Ti.

I'm sorry I just really do this story to focus on the relationship of Anakin & Padme!

Ok, now on to the story(:


"What will become of Anakin the Jedi?" Padme asked breaking the silence.

"Punishment for him the council will decide at a better time." Yoda answered firmly.

"Darth Sidious is not far from here." Obi-Wan started, "Anakin, are you willing to help me defeat Darth Sidious?"

Anakin looked at Obi-wan as he attempted to quickly sort out the cause and effect of everything decided and not decided upon. It was time for him to decide who his true master was and where his loyalties really lied.

Regardless of his choice in the long run Anakin knew that he had a moral duty towards Darth Sidious. He knew that it was his obligation to exterminate him forever, once and for all.

"Yes, for now, my master." He replied with a slight smile towards Obi-Wan.

Knowing that they had no time to spare, they immediately began to conjure up a plan that would aid them in the defiance of the evil chancellor. A few minutes into their conversation a droid came in bringing the twins in on their floating cribs.

Yoda couldn't help but comment on the energy surge he felt when they arrived, "immensely strong with the force they are. Hidden from any dark power they should be."

Anakin and Padme's parental fear was triggered by this comment, yet they decided to brush it off and leave worrying about it for later. Their happiness was to be focused on the fact that they were actually parents now.

He grabbed her hand and kissed the back of it like a gentleman, "Padme get some rest, I'll be here when you wake up."

"Promise you won't leave."

"I promise, we'll all be here for you." He kissed the top of her forehead as she fell into a much needed slumber. The children were kept busy by Anakin and Obi-Wan as they further discussed their strategy. Yoda isolated himself into a corner attempting to reach Shaak Ti, the only other survivor of the massacre besides him and Obi-Wan.

Finding it difficult to sleep, Padme decided to give up on trying to sleep and awoke asking to hold her children. She couldn't believe that she was so close to not being able to hold them. She realized that her will of life not only revolved around Anakin but also around the two newest additions to her family. The love for her children was eminent throughout the room. There was no doubt that these two would ever go unloved. Both their mother and their father loved them and loved each other. It was a picture perfect family except that they were in the most atrocious of circumstances.

As Obi-Wan and Yoda excused themselves and headed towards the exit the noise of blasters echoed through the hallways followed by panicked screaming. Obi-Wan immediately and discretely looked out the door and confirmed his initial feared belief. "Sidious."

Yoda felt the unbalance in the force, "Come back for Vader, he has."

The horror struck Padme, her eyes widened with fear and worry. "Anakin."

"Go ahead I'll be right there." He prompted to Obi-Wan and Yoda as he walked over to Padme.

"Angel, can you move?"

"Uh, yes. Yes I believe I can." She said as she handed the children over for him to place them in their cribs. Then sitting up she flexed her muscles, they were aching and sore. Breathing was still somewhat of a challenge but she was determined to overcome any obstacles.

"Listen to me, you need to get to protect yourself and the babies. Take them and hide."

She couldn't believe what was happening, she knew that there would be heavy consequences but she never thought that she would have to be parted from Anakin's side so quickly. The apprehension of him having to come face to face with Palpatine was overwhelming. He was going to have to face the dark side once more.

"Anakin take care please. I almost lost you once, I don't know if I would be able to withstand losing you to the dark side completely."

He cupped her face within his hand as he spoke, "This is something I must do but, please don't worry my love."

"Oh, Ani." The sobbing began to build in her chest. She stole a kiss from him, one that he was happy to give her.

"Just remember that I love you Anakin Skywalker. I'll be waiting for you." This time it was him who kissed her. It was a passionate kiss which they didn't want to end but knew it eventually had to. With great difficulty he pulled away and quickly left without even looking at her. By the time she opened her eyes all she caught a glimpse of was his cape swaying behind him. Dazed in the sudden disappearance of her husband her attention was once again put in control by the cry of her children. She rocked their cribs hoping to hush them. Quickly she thought of her options and where she could hide them so that the Sith Lord wouldn't be able to sense them. But where? Where, where?


About a dozen clone trooper bodies lay lifeless on the floor, Obi-Wan and Yoda retracted their light sabers as Anakin struck down the last clone. Then from the corner Darth Sidious appeared like a black ghost, caped, pale, and scared.

"Ah, Master Yoda we meet again, Obi-Wan, and who do we have here? Is it possible? Darth Vader!" He said with a sardonic nonchalant tone that turned into a mocking excitement tone as he saw his 'apprentice'.

"Darth Vader … is DEAD!" Anakin declared as he drew his light saber and flung it at Palpatine. However, prepared, Sidious blocked the strike with a light saber of his own. The two rays crossed, each with force oppressing against each other. As their faces met Sidious took the opportunity to menace Anakin, "Is that so? Well then Anakin Skywalker is dead as well!" He yelled deviously.

"Help him Obi-Wan. Battle to fight, mine it is not." With those final words Yoda disappeared and let the rightful owners of their destiny take control. Obi-Wan reacted and ran to help Anakin, their sabers crashed against one another two blue vs. one red. Anakin battled within himself not to lose control and let the anger run through him. He had to remind himself that even if he might not be a Jedi at the moment he had an ethical commitment to himself and his family.

Sly and sneaky as Palpatine was he manipulated the force and used it to throw Obi-Wan unsympathetically across the room. "Obi-Wan!" was all that Anakin managed to yell as he battled with the cunning precision of the mastered art Sidious perceived over light saber dueling; after all he had had years and years of practice. In an acrobatic like battle they each came close to decapitating each other equally, the skill within both was unique and ever present in each hit they took. Malevolent as always Sidious took the any opportunity he found. Anakin tried to see if Obi-Wan was hurt, his guard was partially dented making an attack opening which was gladly taken. Anakin's light saber was knocked out of his hand and Palpatine's own saber was now an inch away from his neck.

"You made the wrong choice one, within the confines of the dark side; we could have ruled the galaxy!" As he drew his saber back before striking, to attain more power, he felt a very omnipresent disturbance in the force. Halting in mid air he distinguished the disturbance as not one but two forces. And unprecedentedly an alignment of three consecutive ray shots was heard. Instantaneously Palpatine fell to his knees and it was then that Padme was revealed to be standing behind him with a gun in her hand.

"You could. Have ruled nothing." She said slowly, her emotions seeping through the words, mixed emotions. He had been one of the main components in everything that had happened. Manipulating the feelings of others and using them to his advantage.

He shot a glance of hatred towards Padme as he fell completely onto the ground appearing vanquished and lifeless, once and for all. Exhaling in relief, not for herself but for Luke and Leia, she turned to her children and praised that they were safe and out of danger.

"Padme!" Anakin ran over to her and hugged her tightly.

"Oh Anakin." As he set her down she interlaced her hands in his hair as they both closed in on a kiss.

Obi-Wan regained his breath and slowly got to his feet, without a word but with effort he managed to make his way to the cribs that cradled the babies. Anakin and Padme looked on, embraced within each other's arms, unknowing of the future and what lied ahead.

The only certain thing was that they had been internally reunited and were ready to face the aftershocks of the precedent events.
