Anakin POV

Visions filled my head of my children. Jinn crying at 0300. Buddy, what is it this time? Liea tells off my General, "The more you tighten your grip Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers." Ashla laughing while her mother gave her a bath. Finally, Luke, throwing his weapon across the throne room and saying to Palaptine, "I am a Jedi, like my father before me."

My eyes popped open, and took stock of myself. There was a cut that was trickling blood down the side of my head, and I was sore all over, but for once I had all of my limbs and nothing seemed to be broken. I called my lightsaber to my hand. If Luke could do this, then so could I.

Obi-Wan and Sidious were lock in a duel, and Sidious was getting the upper hand. I analyzed it for a minute, he had more power in his swing than Obi-Wan, if I could get there I could help. I got my feet under me and used the force to jump back in.

"What are you doing, Anakin?" asked Sidious.

"You failed your highness. I am a Jedi like my children after me, and I am here to capture you," I said.

Obi-Wan looked at me, assessing my injuries, and I nodded that I was okay. I could do this.

"We have to beat him without killing him," I said to Obi-Wan.

"Oh now you want my help?" he asked.

I snuck a sideways glance at him, not daring to take my eyes of Palpatine for more than a second. "Yes, please," I said through my teeth.

"You will never win, Anakin," stated Palpatine.

"I'll take my chances," I said.

Wasting no time, I channeled the force to control my movements and saw that Form V was coming through for me. With my power and Obi-wan's procession, we were driving Palpatine back. A thought occurred to me, and I began to angle him towards the stairs down to the lower platform, not where the guards and the other fighting was, but a lower landing. Because of the assault, Sidious had no choice but to go backwards and give up ground, and soon he tripped down the stairs. Grinning from ear to ear, Obi-Wan and I followed, and when Sidious sat up we had our lightsabers to his throat.

"You failed your highness," said Obi-Wan.

"Come quietly," I added.

"Never," he said, and lightning shot out of his hands.

Obi-Wan and I both blocked the lightning with our sabers, as it pierced through the ship. The berrage was so forceful, that I had to send my left foot backwards so I could withstand the downfall. While he inflicted lightning on us, Sidious started cackling, a victory laugh, because he could do this forever. I tried to redirect the lightning so that it backlashes onto him, and he would be destroying himself, but the angle was wrong.

One brief glance in Obi-Wan's direction told me that the lightning was too much for my master. With horror I watched as the lightning overwhelmed him. He suddenly dropped his weapon screaming, and began to writhe on the floor. I ran to where he was and stood guard over him protecting my friend, and former master, from the onslaught of the lightning.

This time, I got double the strength of lightning and I met it with my blade. The lightning was so strong it made my lightsaber shake in my hands. How did Luke survive this kind of fury and onslaught? Maybe I will never know. The lightning rampaged closer and closer to my hand, and slowly it inchecd towards my fingers. If I moved to block, I would be vulnerable someplace else.

The lightning knocked the saber out of my hand.

This was it. I stood in front of Sidious defenseless. Just me and him. I have no weapon, and if I did not do anything, he was going to rule all.

I took a deep breath. Images of Padme, Luke, Leia, Jinn, and Ashla flowed through my mind. I love you.

"You could still surrender," said Sidious.

"So could you," I said. It was stupid. Why should he surrender? But I did not feel like grovelling in front of this creep.

"Goodbye Anakin, You will be a wonderful slave."

Fear tightened around my heart, and I did that relaxation technique Depa taught me. I closed my eyes and pictured Naboo, waterfalls, the lake, Padme's and mine first kiss. I put my hands out in total surrender and remembered what I said to Luke "Nothing can stop this now."

I heard the crackle of lightning flow through the air, and I saw splays of blue light like waves flash through my eyelids. But there was no pain, nothing touched me. Which was odd. The Lightning touched me earlier. I opened my eyes and there was like a bubble around me. A thin egg that the ligening was touching and splaying across.

I looked around there was no one here but Sidious and I. I was doing this. The Force was doing this. I was actually invincible.

I ignited my saber, and it did not cut through the bubble. I walked over to Palpatine who was still trying to electrocute me, I put my hand over his hand and the bubble engulfed the lightning. Palpatine fell to his knees.

"Surrender now!"

"I Surrender!"
