Anakin POV
I was driving to a restaurant on the upper side of Coruscant that Ruwee suggested. After I had called and got a consensus on a time and date, everyone had agreed to meet at the restaurant. I got there first and asked for a place big enough for all of us in the back with a little privacy. The droid led me into the back room and sat me at a large round table that could seat about ten, in the far corner.
"Make sure no one disturbs us," I said to the droid.
I wait, somewhat patiently, for the rest of us to come. Just when my patience was wearing thin, I was joined by Rex and Ashoka.
"What's up General?" said Rex.
"I have a favor to ask. But, I will wait until everyone's here."
He nodded as sat down.
"Why this place?" he asked.
"Padme's father suggested it. Its quiet."
Just then Master Yoda, Mace Windu, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan walked through the door. I greeted them as they took their seats.
The waitress droid came by, "Is that all? Anyone want something to drink?"
I shook my head. "There is one more coming."
Then Ruwee came in cleaning grease off his hands. "Sorry, I was parking the damn thing and something went wrong with the stabilizer."
"I can look at it when we are done," I offered.
"Thank you, Skywalker," he said with a nod.
We all sat around the table and the droid got our drinks.
"All right Skywalker, you have gotten us here. What's this about?" asked Windu.
I took a deep breath, with this many people it was best just to cut to the chase. "Sidious is after me, and he will do whatever he can to get me back to the dark side. History will repeat again if we are not careful," I said.
"The sith always kill themselves off for power. Weren't you just telling me that?" asked Obi-Wan.
"Okay yeah," I said. "All the other sith will be trying to get power by fighting each other, and Sidious will want an apprentice to help him fight the other sith, someone in his corner."
"You?" asked Mace Windu.
"Vader was strong. I'm not being boastful, just stating the truth. Sidious did whatever it took to keep Vader strong in the Dark Side and we have to keep me strong in the light side," I said.
"Confident you are not that the Light will help you Hmm?" asked Master Yoda.
"I'm not sure Master Yoda. It's possible I am too far gone," I said.
"What do you mean 'too far gone'?" said Qui-Gon. "Anakin, you killed the Emperor. You sacrificed yourself to save your son. You restored balance to the Force a month ago. How are you all of a sudden too far gone?"
Ashoka put her hand on my shoulder. "Master, you asked us all here for a meeting to discuss you and Padme, and we all came, without question. This is because we all know that you and Padme can make it. You can make it. You just need some help."
"Your right," I said. "I need some help, and I have a pretty good idea of how all of you can help me. When I look back, I turned to the dark side for the power to save people from dying, and Sidious knows that. So he knows that he would attack and tourture my mother, Padme, or Ahsoka and I would do anything to get the power to save them. We need to do something to address that."
"Work with you, I could, on letting go," said Master Yoda.
"Yes," said Obi-Wan, "and you need to continue your work with Master Depa. She has already helped you."
I nodded. "That won't be enough. Sidious will come after us from all sides."
Suddenly Rex said, "You said something about them attacking your mum or the Misses. Why would they do that? Wouldn't that just get you angry at them?"
"Anger leads to the dark side," said Master Windu. "It does not matter if he is angry at them, it is the fact that he is angry enough to kill is what they want."
"This could get tricky, sir," Rex replied. "How do you beat that?"
"Master one's emotions, you must. Resist the urge for power or hate, you can," replied Yoda.
"We also need to address the elephant in the room," said Obi-Wan. Everyone looked at him patiently. "Anakin is one of the only Sith I have ever heard of who joined the light side again. Not only did he betray his own master, but he betrayed the entire Sith order."
"Agree with you, I do," said Yoda. "Hated are you among the Sith."
"Oh that perfect," I said. "I got a target on my back. I am trying to hide from all of the Sith now. Meanwhile, Padme's not talking to me-"
"Anakin," said Obi-Wan, putting a hand on me, "Your focusing on the negative again". I calmed down.
"Okay," said Ashoka, "So the goal is to not let Vader show up again. Then my suggestion would be not give him a reason to show up. Keep Padme and Shmi safe. Skyguy go see Depa. The rest of us look for Sidious. How do you hunt a sith, anyway?"
"You get really powerful and let them find you," said Anakin
"Or you find a lesser sith and let them do the tracking for you," said Qui-Gon.
"But master, who could we find who could do that?" asked Obi-Wan.
"Count Dookoo," said Yoda.
