This is it guys the grand finale of Revelations. Enjoy...
----Chapter XX – Curing Wounds----
The shot hit a building on Coruscant which then fell apart. Anakin pulled Mace Windu's lightsaber out and began walking to Tarkin. Tarkin turned around to see Anakin approaching. He laughed as the imperial officers pulled their pistols out to attack Anakin. Anakin smiled and turned the lightsaber on. The purple light made a small apperance on the ground a blast came from an officer. Anakin quickly deflected it and sent it right back at him. The officer flew backwards and hit the wall. Tarkin's smile disappered.
The other five officers began shooting at Anakin and all the shots were deflected and after nearly twenty seconds the only people that remained were Anakin and Tarkin. Tarkin clapped once more and looked around at the corpses that lay around him.
"This is it Skywalker, you and me…" In the background shots on the city were making the city slowly turn into ruins. Anakin could barely make out the senate building.
"This ends now Tarki, your reign is over!" said Anakin who was not in pain at the moment.
"So you think? Do you truly feel it is necessary to kill me? This was a test, to see how strong you are. Now you can claim your spot as the ruler of the Empire."
Anakin smirked. "I am done falling for your lies and traps Tarkin. It is time you face me with no tricks. Prepare for the end my leige…" Anakin walked forward at Tarkin. Tarkin then pulled a remote from his pocket.
"When you were asleep one night on Bespin I implanted you with a chip that could electracute your heart. I haven't used it yet because I was impressed with the virus. Now I am tempted to press the button to begin frying your heart…" Tarkin smiled. Anakin was stunned by this information. Anakin suddenly dropped to his knees and released the lightsaber from his hand.
"Impossible…" Tarkin walked towards Anakin holding the remote. He stopped a few feet away however.
"Toss me your lightsaber…" Anakin looked at the lightsaber that lay just to the right of him. He picked it up and stared at the hilt. Finally he tossed it to Tarkin. Tarkin caught it and put it in his pocket. Tarkin walked forward and stopped just in front of him. "Ready to die Skywalker?" Tarkin now focused on the remote.
Anakin used his hand to crush the remote with the force and when he did it crumbled into a ball. Anakin jumped up into the air and over Tarkin. When he landed behind him he used the force to remove the lightsaber from Tarkin's pocket and quickly turned it on and stabbed Tarkin in the chest.
"This is how the Empire falls…" Anakin turned the lightsaber off and Tarkin fell to the ground. Anakin turned Tarkin over and looked at the man who was now gasping for breath. Anakin smiled as Tarkin stared at him.
"You…you…you tricked…me…" said Tarkin just barely getting it out. Anakin shrugged his shoulders and nodded.
"Now with you out of the way, the Empire is only a brief dream that has died with ease…" Tarkin barely made out a laugh.
"Coruscant…will…fall…" Tarkin then died. Anakin walked over to the man controls and when he reached it he fell. The pain reached his chest once again and was even more to the left than ever before. Anakin was laying on the ground trying to fight the pain. The star destroyer began to rumble and on a comm link a voice began to talk.
"Emperor Tarkin the generator has been destroyed! We only have a few minutes to escape before we are blown to bits!" said a a clone trooper. Anakin slowly rose from the ground and managed to hit the hologram button and reached the Jedi Temple. Obi-Wan responded.
"Anakin! What is going on?" asked Obi-Wan.
"I am sorry Master…I have made…some bad…choices. I…want you to…tell Padmé I…tell her I…love her…"
"I will, are you okay? Where are you?"
"I am on the…star destroyer…I have the Arkenon Virus…I am…going to die…Master Windu has died…"
"What!" the hologram began to static as the Jedi Temple was hit with a shot from the star destroyer.
"If I have a child…who can use the force…promise me you…will train them…goodbye Obi-Wan…"
"Anakin you can't do this!" Anakin turned the hologram off and laid on the floor waiting for his death.
Obi-Wan was in a corrupting Jedi Temple. He ran out of the temple to see the star destroyer just above the city. He watched it and saw clone trooper fighters leaving the ship and then the ship began to blow up. As it did the last ship left the hanger, it was the Slave I. It headed out of Coruscant and far away from Coruscant. The star destroyer finally blew up and as it did Obi-Wan yelled.
"NO! ANAKIN!!"
Yoda appeared behind Obi-Wan and looked at the sky as the dark smoke began disappering.
"True the Prophecy was, balance to the force there is now. Young Skywalker to be remembered till I die…" Yoda then walked away from Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan looked into the sky filled with sorrow.
"I am sorry Anakin…however I will train your child…" Obi-Wan then walked to where Yoda was heading.
A LITTLE BIT LATER INTO THE DAY…
Padmé just delievered her two children in the medical facility in Coruscant. She was crying not only for joy of having two children, but because Anakin missed watching the birth of Luke and Leia. Obi-Wan arrived and walked into the room. He sat down in a chair that was nearly beside her in her bed. A medical droid was getting the babies ready so they could leave the facility.
"How are you feeling?" asked Obi-Wan
"I have been better…where is Anakin?"
Obi-Wan dropped his head and then closed his eyes.
"He died to save Coruscant…otherwise we would not be standing here…" A tear dropped from Obi-Wan's face.
Padmé covered her face and began to cry. "Are you sure he died?" asked a sobbing Padmé. Obi-Wan shook his head.
"No one knows the truth, however I truly believe he did. I wish I was lying however I am not. I made him a promise though…"
Padmé did not care. She was to emotionlly affected by the death of her husband. Obi-Wan closed his eyes and saw the face of Anakin smiling. Obi-Wan stood up and walked over to the babies.
"I will train them when they are old enough…I promise…" Obi-Wan walked from the room as Padmé continued to cry. When Obi-Wan was outside the facility he was looking at the ruins of the battle that had just occurred. He looked up into the sky to see three friends smiling down on him. It was Anakin, Quinlan Vos, and Mace Windu. Obi-Wan managed to smile and he walked away towards the Jedi Temple as the sun of Coruscant began to set….

Wow it has been a fun ride while it lasted for 20 chapters and the prologue. However is it really over? What happens to Coruscant and does Obi-Wan train the twins? Only time will tell, but I know the answers and soon you will too...
