His first assignment as a Darksider was to exterminate all the Rebels, and now being the processed, poisoned, manipulated lost Jedi he was, Anakin had no life inside him to resist Lord Cyra's commands. He stood their completely un-blinking—almost trance-like, robotic to the world, basically trapped inside this outer-shell of darkness—as his new Master smiled at the marvellous new human-weapon she had beside her side-and the best part, once the rebels are 'taken care of', she can concentrate on her other objective: killing Sidious. Together, she would make sure Anakin morphs into his greatest potential, so she can rule as Empress and he as her second-in-command.

Snapping her thoughts from the undeveloped future, Cyra watched as the ship she sent Anakin in left the hangar bay. With its coordinates set to Yavin IV, the Demolisher, ascended into light speed. Nothing but zero emotion, and darkness radiated off his Force-Signature from inside. She knew now, and was pleased, that she'd been able to break Anakin Skywalker.

...An Hour Later...

An eerie calm, almost silence, swept over the valley and forests where the Rebellion was located. An unauthorized ship descended into the atmosphere, blocking out the mid-sky sun. The difference in luminance caused a red-tinted shadow to gloom over, adding a somewhat ominous glow.

All people around started to crowd the unknown ship. None could tell it was imperial (so far), but suspicions her running high. Even the person talking through the speaker trailed of as no response came from the off-worlder. Very few were Force-sensitive, and those who were, the presence was too strongly blocked to grasp.

The ramp and outer door opened with a hiss, smoky-white steam puffing through the exhaust vents. Only a single figure's silhouette appeared from inside. Its dark flowing rope wrapped in the slight breeze. Everyone was silent, though being non-Jedi, the rebels still had a chilling feeling in their gut. With the General not present, Mon Mothma was in charge, and she sent several men to investigate the threat (yes, threat, until proven otherwise).

"Halt! We need to see identification if you wish to dock in this area!" Captain F'Nar shouted, aiming blasters with his men towards the individual. "I said stop!" But nothing changed and the person continued to walk.

Snap-hiss

Harsh red lit up the fog. What once was white steam was now crimson red. Everybody jumped a few steps back, while more pointed their fire arms. Their faces were fierce and threatening, but underneath their well-build façade was fear, and that's exactly what the Darksider fuelled on. The rebels emotions made him stronger.

The lightsaber in his hands was angled away, getting rid of the smoke. The outsider was clearly visible now, taking joy behind that emotionless face as the rebels stared back into his inhuman, sickly yellow eyes.

A sudden burst through the crowd was acknowledged, people making way for two or three other humanoids fighting to get front-row seats of this fateful display.

A boy, no older than 19, furrowed in confusion, never before seeing the affects of the Dark Side and especially to someone so close.

"Father?"

...19 years before/After Order 66...

The Senator, two Jedi and two little wrapped-up bundles, made a run for the hangar bay, trying not to obverse the destruction this new Empire has done to the Senate Building (or 'Imperial Centre', as the new dictatorial government now call it.) Obi-Wan Kenobi held up a hand, halting Anakin and Padmé behind him just as they were about to turn a corner. Obi-Wan stretched out his senses, trying to get a grasp on any traitorous clones that might be guarding the ships. Even before he knew it himself, the twins in Anakin and Padmé's arms must've felt danger with their undeveloped abilities and started crying. They were right, because now several 'stormtroopers' (or whatever the Empire names them) were marching up the hallway.

"Hey, hey, hey, shh." Padmé cooed, stroking baby Luke's face so their positions would not be discovered. If anyone found out that a 'disloyal' Senator and two Jedi were found, it would definitely mean death for all of them. Even though they've been on the run for days, trying to escape Coruscant, her maternal instinct to protect her children was the only thing keeping her going.

Anakin echoed her cooing and shushes, eventually getting the babies comfortable. She had no doubt he was using some Jedi-Force link to reassure them, which kind of gave her a soothing feeling, as well.

Obi-Wan motioned for them to follow him once everything was silent again, and thankful the group went to the back corner where the freighters were.

The first one they saw was good enough for them, immediately strapping in and taking of rather fast. "Hold on tight, 'cause this is going to be one hasty escape." Anakin called from the pilot's seat, checking behind him for Padmé and his children, while Obi-Wan sat in the co-pilot chair.

And just like that, they were off, dodging laser fire in space, and ignoring orders over the comm to turn back. Once they were definitely out of the atmosphere, the nava-computer was set to Tatooine and they fled.

"That was close," Padmé breathed, sighing as she got up. "I'm going to check on Luke and Leia."

"Alright," Anakin said, but sensing nothing alarming from both their Force-presences. It was nice to know that they were okay. He only hoped they would stay that way, with the new Emperor, dictatorship and all. He really hated that they were going to grow up in this kind of world. Sure, slavery was a rough life, but he had to admit, an Empire with no Republic, no Jedi, no democracy, no peace was worse.

"So, you're really going back to Tatooine, huh?" Obi-Wan asked, breaking Anakin from his thoughts.

"Well, yeah." Anakin sighed and nodded. If circumstances were different, he wouldn't ever go back. That place left too many bad memories and had a horrible past. It was one of the many homes to slavery, a childhood he wouldn't ever escape, and there lived the filthy, disgusting creatures known as the Tuskin Raiders that killed his mother. It was also a planet no one cared about, no one noticed, as it was just a floating dust ball in the Outer Rim territories, formerly Hutt Space... But... That was also the good part about it. Since everyone forgot about it, it was safe... Safe from the government, and away from Civilization (as they say). And Anakin needed it to be this way. Her the sake of his family, they all needed to be undiscovered. "It's the perfect place to go into hiding."

Slight disappointment rolled off Obi-Wan's emotions, though he tried to hide it. Anakin knew, and was even frustrated, that he had to abandon everything, which he assumed Obi-Wan was, too. "Look, Obi-Wan, I feel your disappointment about me leaving..." He knows about Obi-Wan's plan to restore the Republic, but that's not something he wants to get involved in... right now, at least. "But I have to. I have to protect them."

Somewhat surprised, his former Master turned to him. "Anakin, I am not disappointed in you." He replied, maybe alarmed that Anakin would think that. "I think staying low is the best thing to do. Your family is what's important now, and I understand that they and you need to be out of the Empire's reach. It's the most logical and demonstrative decision to make... and I admire you for it." A smile brushed each of their lips, pleasantly calm as silence drifted over. "Though..." Obi-Wan spoke again. "I am upset that I won't see you. Though, I will not miss your crazy flying." He teased.

Anakin scoffed and shot back a quick, "Hey! My 'crazy flying' has saved us on many occasions." Returning back to his solemn expression, Anakin said. "But I know this won't last forever. Soon the galaxy will be back the way it was, and everything will be fine... I hope. Plus, Force knows fate will bring us back one way or another."

Obi-Wan nodded and smiled. "I'm sure of it."

The ship landed on Tatooine hours later, with two brothers saying goodbye and wishing the Force to be with the other. Obi-Wan headed to Mos Eisley, getting a new ship and meeting Bail Organa and Mon Motham on Alderaan which was the foundation of the Rebellion.
