Man, this story is just taking off! I can't believe how many hits I'm getting!

Anakin's POV – Council Chamber

"- and then He sent me into a cave, where I had to relive some of the most powerful moments of my life. A portal opened up, and I was back to were I was before I died."

Mace seemed skeptical, as did everyone else.

"So, you expect us to believe that you died, went to meet the Force, who claimed to be your father, and then trained in the Force for thirty years?"

"Yes, I do."

"More power, I sense in you. But no deception. Tell the truth, you do," Yoda said.

"Thank you, Master Yoda."

Mace looked at me again. "Well, you Force Presence has amplified itself seemingly thousands of times."

Mace and Yoda looked at each other.

"Now that you are back, you and Obi-wan are needed in space. The Chancellor has been kidnapped."

I nodded and strode out of the chamber towards his quarters.

"Anakin, where are you going?"

"I have to get something, don't worry Master. I'll be quick."

I stopped in the hallway that my dorm was across from.

I reached out to the Force and allowed myself to phase through the wall and into my dorm.

There it was, the lightsaber.

I unclipped the blue one and grabbed my gold one.

I phased back out to the hallway and through another wall to meet up with Obi-wan.

"See, I'm back already," I said.

Obi-wan practically jumped three feet in the air when he heard my voice.

"You still like to play tricks on me. How you get in here? I was watching all the entrances."

"There's more than one way to get somewhere."

"You used the Force?"

"Yes, I used a power called Phasing. It allows me to pass through walls by separating every cell in my body and everything on me so I can walk through the molecules in the wall."

Obi-wan nodded. "Interesting. I suppose you learned it during you time with the For- your father?"

"Yes, I did. And I got this lightsaber."

I lifted it up and ignited it.

The gold blade shone true.

"Amazing, there was only one other Jedi to have this crystal, and he was one of the First Jedi alive! Simply beautiful. May I hold it?"

"Sure, go ahead."

Obi-wan gave it a few swings experimentally.

"It feels just like my lightsaber, just a different color."

"It's supposed to match the holder's requirements."

"Interesting, very interesting. And I feel like my connection to the Force is larger than before, why is that?"

"The gem placed in the lightsaber enhances the holder's connection to the Force."

He shut it off and handed it back.

"Very interesting indeed." I nodded. Master Yoda walked up.

"Ready to leave, are you?"

"Yes, Master, we are ready," Obi-wan said.

"Good Luck, and the Force be with you. Always." We both bowed and walked away to our starfighters.

When both ships were powered up and ready for takeoff, I placed my comm on my head.

All ready, Master?

Yes, I am. Now let's go get the Chancellor.

We lifted off the landing pad and few towards the battle above.

The battle was gruesome, and Obi-wan almost died more than once.

We had to land on the Invisible Hand to escape Obi-wan flaming ship. He landed with a skid and leaped out of the cockpit, landing in front of two droids, who were promptly decapitated.

I slipped out of the harness and jumped out of my cockpit as well. R2 ejected himself and flew over to a control panel.

/^\

We finally made it to the place where the Chancellor was being held prisoner.

Obi-wan dashed in, and I walked in calmly.

The Chancellor flinched when he saw me, and I felt a very dark aura surrounding him, but then it was gone as soon as I felt it.

I felt another dark presence, one that was similar, but much less powerful.

I turned around to see Count Dooku standing on a balcony.

"Hello, Jedi friends," he spat.

Obi-wan was about to say something, but I cut him off saying, "Why, hello Count. Good day, is it not?"

He looked at me quizzically, then leaped off the balcony and ignited his lightsaber.

"I sense your power has grown, Skywalker. I hope you'll actually be a challenge now."

"Yes, my power has grown. It's grown much. Enough for me to see that there's still good in you. You don't like what Sidious has you doing, you'd much rather be at the Temple." I subconsciously glanced at the Chancellor.

His face was scrunched in anger, and his nostrils flared.

A dark wave flowed from the old man, but then his face was calm once again.

My statement had caught Count Dooku off guard.

"Anakin! What are you doing? He –" Count Dooku stopped Obi-wan's talking by flinging him at the wall, knocking him out. He pulled a balcony off the wall and let it drop onto Obi-wan's still form.

But it never reached its target.

My hand shot out, mostly by instinct, and I used the Force to catch the balcony in midair. I moved it away from his body and let it fall on the ground beside him. A task like that would have drained my energy before my training. Now, I'm not even winded.

Dooku seemed shocked, then his shock turned to anger.

He lunged at me, his sizzling red energy beam of death extended lengthwise in front of him. I ignited my own gold lightsaber and blocked his assault.

He lunged again, this time, flipping over me and attacking me from behind. I blocked every attack, and reached out to the Force to kick his legs out from under him. He fell to the ground rather ungracefully, and let the grip on his lightsaber waver slightly. I used this mishap to my advantage and pried his lightsaber from his hands.

I tossed his lightsaber up into the air and cut it in half, then handed it back to him.

"There's still room for you in the Order. I know there's good in you yet."

I looked to the Chancellor.

"Well done! Impressive fight! I see your powers have increased readily! Now," his expression got serious. "Kill him." Count Dooku looked at the Chancellor in horror.

"No, he's unarmed." Palpatine was shocked.

"I-I, I don't know what to say. You really think they'd take me back?" Count Dooku asked.

Now it was Palpatine's turn to be shocked.

"I know they would. Come, return to the Light Side." I extended my hand to him. His expression hardened for a moment, but then he opened up and let go of his anger.

"I will, thank you. I couldn't bear to hold on to that anymore."

I smiled at him.

We had grabbed Obi-wan, even though the Chancellor said not to, and made our way to the control room.

Grievous had stopped us, and when he got away, the ship broke in half.

I landed it successfully, and we all exited the space ship carefully.

I had talked to the media about this, and towards the end, I excused myself, and saw Padmé standing behind a pillar.

I ran up and hugged her tightly.

"Careful Ani."

"I'm sorry, I just haven't seen you in so long."

"Ani, I have to tell you something."

"What is it?"

"I- I'm pregnant."
