A/N: There is just one chapter after this one and then this story will be complete! I'm happy and slightly distressed. I love it when I finish a story, but I'm also upset that it's all over.


Chapter 21: Together As One

Han and Leia had to show "Vader's" signature more than once to a lot of people. You cannot imagine what the officers were thinking when they watched all the rebels being set free. And back on the docking bay, they had to show Vader's signature once again proving that they were allowed to take the rebels.

They waited inside the ship for Anakin, Padme and Piett. Once they were on, they took off and met up with the "Jedi Fleet" as everyone liked calling it.

As soon as they landed, Luke was on them, demanding why they had left without him, and they said that they couldn't find him. When they asked where he was, Luke paused, looking around nervously and said, "I suggest that you stay out of room 122."

That was forgotten for the time being. Unfortunately for Luke, the matter was brought up again when three of the seventeen year old padawans were seen angrily emerging from room 122 covered in something thick and white. Luke insisted that it was bubbles but I highly doubt that.

For the whole day, Piett was meeting people he thought were long dead. Then Anakin explained that they had been dead, but he'd just brought them back. (This confused the captain even more so Anakin let Padme show him around instead.)

Up till now, Piett had been as loyal as ever to the Empire. But now, he was beginning to change his mind. Not only had he talked with the Jedi that day, but he also got to know the rebels on a more personal basis other than shooting each other on a battle field.

These rebels told him of all the things the Empire had done to them and caused them to join the alliance against it. The Jedi were also turning out to be very decent people… not evil sorcerers as the Empire had made them out to be.

He saw something new, and from that day forth, Piett was anti-Imperial and he actually became an official rebel. He even got a rebel uniform which he now wore instead of his Imperial costume. And he had to agree that rebel uniforms were much more comfortable and easier to fight in than the tight, stiff uniforms of an Imperial. No wonder the rebels kept winning battles; their uniforms weren't uncomfortable.

"Anakin, we've finally made contact with the rest of the Rebel Alliance," Obi-Wan said when he finally found his former apprentice.

"And?" Anakin asked.

"And we will be meeting them in the Borlcias system. From there, we will jump back into hyperspace and be at Coruscaunt in thirty minutes."

"Okay," Anakin said, thinking. "And what of the Imperial fleet at Hoth."

"Already taken care off."

Anakin nodded. "Okay. I think we're all set."

Obi-Wan looked at him and smiled. He never thought that he'd be going over battle plans with Anakin again, but here he was. Padme had been right. There was good in him. And Obi-Wan should have seen that.

Anakin looked up when he felt Obi-Wan's hand on his back.

"I'm glad you have you back, brother," Obi-Wan said.

Anakin let out a deep, contented breath. "It's good to be back."

When the Jedi Fleet and the Alliance Fleet met up, there was a little bit of communication and negotiations between the two fleets so they could get everything out and clear. The plan was made known to the Alliance and they couldn't be happier.

Everyone was pleasantly surprised to see all the Jedi who were alive and well. You cannot imagine Mon Mothma's happiness at seeing her old friend, Padme Amidala. They hugged and exchanged a few words with each other. Anakin identified himself and apologized for being "A stuffed headed, murdering scum," as he put it. He was very happy to be forgiven by all and once all of this was done, they went into lightspeed and plotted a course for Coruscaunt.


A/N: I know, this is the smallest chapter ever created. But I'm not going to write a whole bunch of nothingness just to make it a longer chapter. That would be bad writing.

Please, please review.
