A/N: I know that I've never been perfect in spotting my mistakes before, but this chapter and the others until I get home will be full of even more mistakes due to the fact that the old man only has wordpad on his computer.
The answer to the challange from the last chapter is...
""You can go do that, I'll stay at the temple while the rest of you exorcise that apartment," Anakin said.
"The amount of spy work you're doing, you'll have to go somewhere to cleanse yourself of this darkness that surrounds the chancellor," Obi-Wan commented.
"Don't worry I intend to, even if it means taking a bath in one of the temple fountains," Anakin said dryly."
Exorcisms are performed on houses and people to drive out evil spirits. An Exorcism is usially perfromed by a ctholic priest. And Exorcisms are widly associated with the catholic church. I'm surprised no one pointed it out besides jedidaughter1.
Where Anakin says that he'll take a bath in the temple fountians to clens himself of the darkness, that for me came from being baptized to rid yourself from origional sin. In the catholic church this is done while we are still babies. But with other religions it is done when a person is older so they understand what is going on. Again, the only one who pointed that out was jedidaughter1.
Now to my next challage. Anakin's dream finally comes to a close in this chapter. Can anyone tell me what his reaccuring dream means? It's very significant to the story.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
Charlie.
Anakin woke up the next morning feeling Padme's sleeping form curled up on top of him. Normally, he would just lay there waiting for her to wake up, but the churning in his stomach wouldn't go away. Using the force, he gently lifted her off of him and down next to him as he threw the covers off his himself quickly jumping out of bed only to step on something and fall hitting several hard and oddly shaped objects. He cursed colorfully in huttiese before he picked up the object closest to his face and held it up. Droid parts. Why were there droid parts all over the floor with Padme asleep? If she ever found a mess like this she would have woken him up and made him clean it up. He didn't even remember making the mess! As he looked around he realized that he wasn't home. He began to panic wondering briefly if that was really Padme who was ontop of him before his jedi senses kicked in and sighed with relief. It was Padme. Did she forgive him? And where were they? He looked around and realized that he was in his old room at the temple. And then the events of the night before came back to him at full speed. Before he could ponder when Padme had come to the temple, he quickly jumped up as the churning in his stomach acted up again. He didn't care how much noise he made as he ran out of the room and into the refresher where he proceeded in emptying his stomach. Oh gods that was foul!
"It's still in your system! Oh Anakin, I don't care what you say, how much you protest. You're coming down to the medical bay today!" Minga said sternly.
"I'm...not...sick..." Anakin muttered as he continued to empty his stomach.
Minga slapped him in the head. "You're too damn stubborn for your own good!" she snapped.
Finally there was nothing left in his stomach and he leaned against the wall. "Just leave it alone, Minga," he told her and then looked at her rumpled look. "What are you doing here?" he asked her.
"I stayed to make sure you were alright, which clearly you're not," Minga told him crossing her arms. Great she was in big sister mode. She knelt down in front of him and rested her palm against his forehead. "You're running a fever," she told him scrunching her face up in worry.
Anakin slapped her hand away from him. "I'm fine," he told her.
Minga raised a thick eyebrow at him. "Oh? Then why is your stomach doing flip flops and you're vomit is black?" she asked him.
Anakin briefly peeked into the toilet and then quickly regretted it. "Okay, maybe I'm not fine," he conceded.
"What exactly did you drink last night?" Minga asked him.
"I was at The Zhora Room hoping to get drunk so I ordered seven of the most potent drinks they had," Anakin answered her.
"Anakin," Minga said stressing his name. "You know that you shouldn't be drinking like this. One, it's not good for you. Two, you're a jedi, you're supposed to be sober at all times," she told him stressing her point using her hands as she counted her points with her fingers.
Anakin imitated her with his own points. "One, I don't care. Two, leave me alone!" he said.
"Real mature Anakin," Minga said dryly.
"Why be mature when I have a mental illness," Anakin replied sarcastically.
"Anakin," Minga sighed. She looked at him in worry. He was too pale to her liking. "We need to know what you were poisoned with, I have to run some tests on you. The sooner the better," she said.
"I'm not going to the medical bay," Anakin told her stubbornly.
"We'll see what Padme says then," Minga told him clicking her tongue.
"Padme has no control over me," Anakin said crossing his arms.
Minga raised an eyebrow at him as she crossed her arms. "Really? Then How was she able to kick you out last night?" she asked.
"Shut up," Anakin said failing to give her a valid comeback. he then stood up and pushed past Minga and walked into the living room where Obi-Wan was now sitting in.
"Think you're feeling better, Anakin?" he asked.
"I'm fine," Anakin told him.
Obi-Wan looked over Anakin's shoulder at Minga. "Is he?" he asked.
Minga shook her head. "I want to run some tests and see what he was poisoned with, I don't think it's completely out of his system yet," she told him.
Obi-Wan rubbed his forehead. "Why would someone poison you Anakin? Can you think of any reason or who?" he asked.
Anakin slumped into a chair and rubbed his face with his hands. "I have no clue. I know that it couldn't have been Sidious unless he discovered my betrayal," he said.
"I think this needs to be investigated some. This wasn't the first time, remeber the thugs on Tatooine," Obi-Wan said.
"I barely remeber that," Anakin told him.
Minga looked between the two jedi concerned. "What happened on Tatooine beside Vader wanting to come out?" she asked.
"Apparently there's a bounty on Anakin's head and the thugs were supposed to bring Anakin to Mustafar for some odd reason," Obi-Wan told her.
At the name Mustafar, a look of horror crossed Anakin's face as Vader's memories of mustafar swam through his head. ":No, not mustafar," he muttered fearfully.
Both Anakin and Minga looked at him worriedly but before either of the could ask him what was wrong, Padme came out of Anakin's room.
"Ani?" she said rushing over to Anakin and kneeling infront of him. she played with the ends of his hair and looked him in the eyes. "Why didn't you tell me?" she asked.
Anakin looked at her confused. "Tell you what?" he asked her.
"Why didn't you tell me about Darth Vader? I could have been helping you, not getting mad at you," Padme said. she wanted to say more but Anakin held her wrists in his hands and pulled her hands away from him and he looked her in the eyes.
"Who told you about Vader?" he asked her very calmly.
Minga and Obi-Wan looked at each other knowing that this wasn't going to go over too well. Anakin was too calm, that wasn't a good sign. "Anakin," Obi-Wan began.
Anakin turned to Obi-Wan sharply, anger filling his eyes. "You told her!" he yelled standing up.
"She needed to know!" Obi-Wan told him.
"No! You had no right! I told you that I didn't want her to know!" Anakin shouted.
"Anakin, please don't get upset with them," Padme said taking his arm but Anakin shoved her off.
"Anakin, keeping Vader a secret from the ones who care about you isn't good for anyone, most of all you!" Minga told him.
"I don't care about that!" Anakin snapped at them.
"You will care when you start to loose contol!" Obi-Wan told him patiently.
Anakin shook his head as he paced. They had no right to tell her. No right at all. He had specifically told them that he did not want Padme to know about Vader. They completly disregarded his wishes. And what now? Padme knows. How could she be dealing with the the fact that her husband is half monster? How could she even look at him now?
"Anakin," Minga said stepping forward. "You must understand why we told her," she said.
"No, what I don't understand is how you can have so little respect for me to go against my wishes," Anakin said.
Padme looked from Obi-Wan and Minga and back to her husband before speaking up. "Why is it that you didn't want me to know, Anakin?" she asked placing a hand on his arm making him stop his pacing.
Anakin turned to look at her. Everything he preconcived about her knowing was put on hold when he didn't see revoultion in her eyes, just worry. What was he supposed to say? Was he supposed to confess his fears to her? He couldn't do that. He refused to do that. He still had that choice. But the question still remained. What was he going to tell her now? The churning in his stomach had returned, but this time it came with pain. Horrible stabbing pain. He felt as though his insides were being torn apart. He crossed his arms over his stomach and fell to his knees as the pain intensified.
"Something's wrong," he managed to say before he fell to the floor as the pain grew too intense making his concious unable to bere it as he passed out.
----------------------------------------------------
Lord Sidious looked down on the young female assasion with disgust. His men had captured her the night before as she ran from the Zhora Room after Anakin Skywalker was fed a form of poison. His men who followed Skywalker everywhere he went while on Coruscant had brought the fiesty young assasion to him. She somehow reminded him of Zam Wesell. Too bad Zam had to die. But this assasion looked up at him from her spot on her knees, her hands were bound behind her back, but she still had an air of defiance about her.
"Who hired you to assasinate Skywalker?" Lord Sidious asked.
The assasion sneered up at him. "You'll get nothing out of me old man," she told him.
Lord sidious frowned. "You may want to reconsider," he told her.
The assasion smirked at him. "What could you do to me? A man as feeble as you are nothing compared to me," she said.
If it were possible Lord Sidious' frown deepened. "A pity you feel that way," he said and sent sith lightning at her making her wither on the floor in agony. after his assult on her ended she looked up at him with fear in her eyes. "Now you will tell me who hired you to assanate Skywalker.
"What is he to you?" she asked.
"That my girl is not important. If you do not wish anymore pain, you will answer my question," Lord Sidious said threatening.
The assaion looked up at him trying to decide which would be worse, being eleticuted or what other way she could be killed. She chose to answer his question, she could always escape the wrathe of the one who hired her. "I was not hired to kill him, just to bring him to Mustafar. I don't know who wants him there, I was hired by a bounty hunter named Dirthmar. Who ever wants Skywalker to go to Mustafar want him alive enough for them to finish the job themselves," she told him.
Lord Sidious mulled over this information. Somebody wanted Anakin Skywalker dead. But who? Knowing that he would get nothing more out of this young girl, he decided to make an example out of her. "You've done well, but I'm afraid it's not enough," he said. he took in her fearful face and smiled. Yes, fear, how he lived for it. Someday they will all fear him. This time when he sent sith lightning at her, he made it stronger. he took in sadistic satifaction as she withered in pain, screaming in pain for long aganizing minutes before her body could take no more and she died. As he looked down on her dead body he was determined to find who wanted Skywalker dead and kill them himself. He needed Skywalker, his soul will be his.
---------------------------------------------------
"Anakin!" Padme shouted dropping to her knees next to Anakin, She pulled him closer to her and panicked when she felt his cold skin. She turned to Minga who instantly checked on Anakin. "What's wrong with him?!" she demanded.
"We need to get him to the medical bay immidiatly!" Minga said urgently.
Padme looked at her unconcious husband in fear. It happened so suddenly. Was Vader coming out? Is this how it happened?
"Anakin was poisoned last night, Padme," Obi-Wan said also checking on Anakin.
"Poisoned! He was fine just a minute ago!" Padme cried frantically.
"We thought so too, but whatever was given him, obviously wants to stay in his system," Obi-Wan told her. He then hefted Anakin's unconcious form up and slung him over his shoulder. "You might want to put Anakin's cloak back on if you are to come with us to the medical bay," he added.
Padme nodded and quickly retrived Anakin's cloak before tightly securing over herself and the three of them hurridly brought Anakin to the medical bay. The other jedi in the temple watched them curiously as they hurried past them. Padme's worry increased with each aganizing long steps they ran to get Anakin to the medical bay. The longer they took the more delayed they were to get Anakin the treatment that he needed. The fact that Anakin could die ran through her head over and over again. But he couldn't die. She wont let him! She needed him more than anything. He was a part of her. Just as she was a part of him. She couldn't live without him.
Finally they made it to the medical bay. Obi-Wan laid Anakin's unconcious form on an examining table. Minga proceeded in getting the equipment ready to keep Anakin alive.
"I need someone to remove his tunic," Minga instructed.
Padme who was by Anakin's side quickly began removing Anakin's tunics, one at a time. If it were even possible, he was getting paler by the minute. Finally Anakin laid there completely shirtless and Padme couldn't stop looking at him in worry as hey lay there completely still and pale as a sheet.
Minga came over and injected his shoulder with a pale blue liquid. "This will help stableize him," she said and then proceeded in hooking him up to a machine to monitor his heartbeat which was growing fainter by the minute. Minga hooked him to another machine to run some tests to determine which poison was given him. "I wish You would have brought him here last night," she said looking pointedly at Obi-Wan.
"I wanted to, but you know how Anakin is. Even in his weakened state, he would have faught me if I had brought him here," Obi-Wan told her.
"Sometimes it's best to ignore his childish attitude about cirtain things," Minga snapped. She read the list of all possible poisons off of a computer screen. She wasn't quite sure which poison was used. If she used the wrong antidote, things could get worse. She had to be extra careful. Anakin's life depended on it. She looked down at Anakin, not liking how pale he was. She rested a hand on his forehead feeling how cold he was. Too cold to her liking.
Master Skywalker, there's so many of them, what should we do?" the boy asked fearfully.
Anakin pulled the boy close to him. "It's okay, I wont let them harm you," he reassured the child. He would protect these children with his life. The monster will not harm them. Anakin sensed him coming closer. He knew where they were. The child could sense it too as he clung to him. Anakin rubbed the child's arm in assurance. The monster will not harm them! Finally he bent down to the child. "Go back to your hiding place and don't move or make a sound, okay," he told the child who nodded fearfully at Anakin before going back to his hiding place.
Anakin waited in front of those doors. He was coming closer. He was going to kill them! No! Anakin wont let him! Anakin wont let him hurt them. He'll stop the monster from hurting these children! Finally the doors opened reveling the black cloaked figure of the new sith lord. Anakin gripped his lightsaber firmly in his hand and the sith lord scrutinized him from under his hood. The sith gripping his own lightsaber, a blood red one. The mark of a sith. Finally slowly, the sith looked Anakin straight in the eyes smirking at him. Anakin found himself staring into his own face. But it wasn't his. This face had sith yellow eyes!
No! he destroyed him once before, he'll destroy him once again! Somehow he had to get him away from the younglings. Coming to a decision, he moved into position gripping his lightsaber in his hands firmly. "You will not harm them, Vader. You'll have to get through me before you touch them," he said determinedly.
Vader laughed evilly. "Fool. You cannot stop me. It's pointless to fight me. You cannot fight your destiny!"
"
"
"
Vader struck his lightsaber through the boy making him scream before dropping the dying child onto the floor. Anakin called his lightsaber in his hand and charged at Vader moving to strike him down but Vader blacked him.
"
"
Vader smirked. "Very well then," he said and reached out his black gloved hand and used the force to pull another terrified youngling, a girl with curly brown hair and amber eyes who reminded Anakin a bit of Padme in the holos of her as a little girl in her parents house. The youngly screamed and cried as Vader pulled her to him. She frantically tried to get away but she was bound by the force to Vader. Vader grabbed her and forced her to him.
Anakin saw her terrified face look at him, tears glistening her eyes. She was silently begging him to help her. "Let her go!" Anakin demanded.
Vader smiled at him, making Anakin shiver. He traced her cherub face with his ungloved hand. "She would grow up to be so beautiful, don't you think, beautiful just as your wife," he taunted.
"
"
Anakin couldn't argue with that. He couldn't do that to Luke and Leia, they deserved to live. Padme deserved to have them. He was powerless to defeat this sith. "Let her go," Anakin repeated.
Vader grinned. "It's already too late," he said and before Anakin could do anything a crimson blade sliced through the terrified youngling and she screamed before she crumpled to the floor dead. Next to the first youngling.
Anakin rushed over and cradled each dead child. Their faces frozen in terror. It haunted him to no end. He couldn't save them. He failed them. He sensed Vader prowling the chambers. Anakin formed a strong determination to not fail again. He looked at each child's face and gently closed their eyes. He stood up and called his lightsaber into his hands. Vader was going to pay.
Vader paused but didn't look turn around to face him. "Ahhh, I can feel your anger. It's strong enough to taste," he said.
Anakin knew that he was goading him. He held his lightsaber firmly in his hands. He knew that if he struck now it would be in anger. Anager was a path to the dark side. Was he able to defeat the sith without anger? Would it destroy him?
In Anakin's moment of hesitation, Vader smirked to himself as he pulled a handfull of yougling to him. "You're hesitation is defening," he said plunging his blade through each of the five younglings making then scream in terror and pain.
Anakin was unable to hold off any longer. His anger had taken full contol of him. He was going to avenge each child that Vader had killed. He lunged at Vader's back only to have the sith turn around sharply to deflect his blow. Vader matched each strike that Anakin threw at him. Both were as strongf and as skilled as the other. Vader kicked him in the stomach making Anakin double over. He had no time to collect himself as Vader advanced on him. Vader moved to strike him down by bringing his crimson lightsaber on him but Anakin blocked him just in time. Anakin got to his feet advancing on Vader. But Vader just smirked at him as he used the force to through anakin through the window shattering it.
Anakin fdelt himself fall from the incredible hight that the high council chambers was located. There was nothing he could grab onto as he continued to fall. He had failed to protect the younglings. They were dead because of him. He was a failure. finally in what seemed like an enternity, Anakin hit the ground on his back, his lightsaber clattering to the ground beside him. All around his flames and lava rose twenty feet in the air. Anakin quickly looked around. He way laying on black rocky ground while the flames and lava continued to rise and fall. He was on Mustafar!
The heart monitor went into a wild frenzy! Minga had to quickly find a way to calm it. She knew that whatever was going on now had nothing to do with the poison. It was all Anakin as he tried to fight whatever was in him. She saw how his eyes, while closed, darted around in his head. She turned back to her test screan as her computer ran the tests searching for the name of the poison that had entered his system.
Padme stayed at Anakin's side as he fought for his life. She held his hands in her own destrought over how cold they were. They still didn't know what the poison was yet and the longer it took, the more scared she was of loosing Anakin.
Obi-Wan stood by hellessly as he stared fixidly at Anakin's unconcious form. He cursed himself for listening to Anakin's protests last night. He should have brought him here immediatly. He knew better! Anakin was his brother, he couldn't loose him. Anakin wasn't the only one who broke the code against attachments. Obi-Wan had grown very attached to Anakin over the years. He just couldn't loose him.
----------------------------------------------------------
Master Yoda sat in his chambers meditating when he sensed it. The pain and the fear of loss. Something was terribly wrong and he knew that it centered around young Anakin Skywalker. He saw the pain clear as day as he closed his eyes. He saw the machines in the medical bay and he saw Skywalker pale as a ghost.
"Anakin is in trouble," The ghost of Qui-gon Jinn said making the aged grand master open his eyes sharply and look at the force ghost.
"Know that I do," Master Yoda said moving to get up.
"Someone wants him dead," Qui-Gon said gravely.
"Stay with Skywalker you do?" Master Yoda asked.
"I made a promise to his mother. I have always been a man of my word," Qui-gon said.
"Honor, ana improtant thing for a jedi that is," Master Yoda said as he hobbled to the door.
"I'll meet you at the medical bay," Qui-Gon said before disappearing.
Master Yoda humphed before heading to the medical bay.
---------------------------------------------------------------
After a long time of scanning, the test screen came to a stop and the name of the poison showed up in bold letters. Liquentia. While poisonus the lequentia, a type of fish that resided in the lakes of Byss, it's oil could damage a persons internal system if it were swallowed, the severety of the damage depended on the speciace that digested it. Minga knew that she had to come up with the antidote quickly if Anakin were to make it without a scratch and recover fully.
Obi-Wan came up to the screen and read what came up. "Whoever wants Anakin dead only wants to weaken him and finish the job themselves," he said.
"the question now is, who wants Anakin dead?" Minga asked as she gazed where Padme was fast asleep at Anakin's side. she was emotionally exhausted and needed this rest. Minga and Obi-Wan knew that once Anakin woke up, she would be up as well. "I'm going to work on the antidote, monoter him form me," she said going to her lab.
Obi-Wan rubbed his face with his hands and watched Anakin closely. "Oh Anakin, I hope you realize what a dangerous game you're playing," he said.
"Young Skywalker, how is he?"
Obi-Wan turned around quickly and saw Master Yoda walk into the room. "You sensed it didn't you" he asked.
Master Yoda nodded. "Sensed Young Skywalker's trouble I did," he said as he sat down in a chair. "how did this happen?" he asked.
"Where do you want me to begin?" Obi-Wan asked.
"Where it started would be nice," Master Yoda said.
Obi-Wan sighed and told him about how Anakin wouldn't tell Padme about Vader and they argued. He told Master Yoda what had happened the night before. "This isn't the first time that it's happened. I should have known that someone was after Anakin due to what the thugs on Tatooine said," he said.
"Investigate this we must. Whoever wants Skywalker dead will not stop until he has reached his goal. Find this assasion, you must. Only then can you find the otjher pieces," Master Yoda said.
Before Anakin could get up a figure emerged from the flames. Vader came after him with the hood of his black cloak pulled over his face while the rest bellowed out behind him as he walked. Anakin grabbed his lightsaber and stood up. Vader's crimson blade ignited within moments. Anakin ignited his sapphire blade preparing himself for battle.
"You will not win jedi. I am more powerful than you can imagine," Vader said.
Anakin smirked. "I don't know, I can imagine quite a bit," he said using Han Solo's words from his time in the future.
"You're a fool," Vader said advancing on him.
Finally he was close enough for Anakin to make the first strike and he did, at Vader's arm. Vader blocked him and pushed Anakin back.
"You will not win Vader," Anakin said.
"You have no idea of the power the dark side has to offer," Vader said advancing on him again.
Anakin forced Vader back into the Conference Room where the quarters were much closer. Sparks flew everywhere. Vader jumped onto the conference table. Anakin slid across the table, knocking him over. Anakin grabbed his lightsaber as he fell. Anakin then used the Force to summon his own dropped lightsaber. Vader did the same. The battle intensified Anakin and Vader locked sabers again. Anakin put out his hand to use the Force to push Vader away. Vader put out his hand to block Anakin. Both combatants were blasted backwards onto the control panels. They regained their footing and their battle continued. Vader kicked Anakin away. Anakin regained his footing and they battled around the room, eventually the door to the exterior was knocked open. They continued battling out onto the balcony. Vader forced Anakin down a narrow balcony outside the Control Room. He ripped objects off the wall and threw them at Anakin as he pushed him further and further along the walkway. The balcony ended, and Anakin found himself trapped. He saw the satisfied smirk on Vader's face. Vader believed that he had him, well Anakin still had a few tricks up his sleeve. he looked over the balcony and into a river of lava. He cut apiece of the balcony railing off, along with a control panel. Alarms sounded around them, and a protective ray shield around the superstructure disappeared. It tumbled into the molten abyss, disappearing in a puff of smoke. A small pipe connected the Control Center to the Main Collection Plant. Anakin knew that if he were to win this fight he would have no choice but to tightrope-walk out across the lava river while fighting him. He knew that he could do this as he made his way across the river. Vader following Anakin, jumped down onto the flexing pipe, landed, and resumed the fighting. Anakin and Vader worked their way across the small pipe, fighting ferociously as they went. Anakin slipped, threw his lightsaber up in the air, grabbed on to the pipe, swung around, grabbed on to an upper pipe, retrieved his lightsaber, and landed back on the original pipe. He and Vader continued to fight across the pipe until they reached the Main Collection Plant. He and Vader battled on the top of the multi spired collection panels, jumping from one to the other. At the end of the collection cluster, a huge spray of lava covered the attachments that held up the collectors. The frame began to melt. It was raining lava. Both him and Vader ran for cover under the collection cluster. They continued to fight in the lava rain, darting from cover to attack, then quickly retreating to cover. Support for the entire structure began to fall away, and the collection cluster fell into the lava river. They continued their fight, climbing to the highest point on the tower as the rest began to melt away as it rode the swift current down the river. It bent toward the lava as they got out toward the end. Their fighting got fierce again. Vader grinned as they upped it a notch. Anakin knew that he had to win this. He continued to remain strong, never letting the sith know that this place was getting to him. He got to the end and was trapped once again. Again Vader smirked in satisfaction at this. The tower slowly started to sink under the lava. Anakin realized he is getting very close to the edge of the lava falls. He grabbed a rope and leaped from the collection arm. Vader followed. Anakin and Vader continued their fight hanging from cables as they swung past each other. From their cables, He and Vader both spotted something that caused them to stop fighting. The lava river ahead dropped off in a tremendous lava fall. Snapping and metal groans were heard as the main part of the collector started to break away and move toward the lava fall. Anakin looked around and saw a small floating platform making its way toward the tower. He did a double hack-flip and landed squarely on the floating platform. Vader immediately leaned to one side and moved away from the tower. He realized he was doomed if he stayed where he was as the entire tower headed for the falls. In the distance Vader saw some construction droids. Grinning he swung back to the tower, climbed up and made a running leap and miraculously landed on a worker droid. The droid was confused and chattered to his co-worker. The giant collector went over the lava flow and disappeared in the mist of sparks below. Anakin headed for the bank of the lava river, but Vader's droid was faster. Vader caught up with Anakin. He and Vader continued their lightsaber duel. They battled away, balancing on the tiny platform and puzzled droid. Vader, standing on the droid, approached Anakin on the work platform.
"This is your end, Skywalker," Vader said.
Anakin smirked at him. "You are gravely mistaken," he said and did a backwards flip onto the black river shore.
Not to be out done, Vader jumped to the platform that Anakin was standing on moments before catching up to where skywalker now stood. "You underestamate the power of the dark side," Vader said.
"You put too much faith in the dark side!" Anakin told him.
"So sure of yourself jedi!" Vader said and moved to jump over Anakin on the high ground where he was going to force the jedi into the lava river. He was unprepared for when Anakin proceeded in cutting off all of his limbs. Vader screamed as his body rolled to the edge of the lava river.
Anakin watched in grim satisfaction as the flames from the river caught onto Vader's cloathing setting him on fire.
Vader screamed in agony as he looked at Anakin with pure hatred in his eyes. "This isn't over! You haven't seen the last of me!" Vader screamed as the flames consumed him.
Anakin stood there watching as the flames took the sith prisonor. He stood there watching until Vader was no more than ash. Despite this, Anakin knew that he would come back someday, and when that happened, it would be with a vengance.
Minga had finished preparing the antidote and made quick work with injecting Anakin with it. Slowly, he began regaining his color. Minga pressed a hand against his forhead and felt his skin warming up. She turned to where Master Yoda and Obi-Wan sat watching Anakin closely. Padme was still at Anakin's side. It wouldn't be that long until Anakin did wake up, but even then, he would have to stay until the Liquentia oil was out of his system perminitly. She didn't care how much Anakin protested. He was staying under her care until she was satisfied with his recovery.
