Chapter 1
Another Path
Darth Vader stood in the Death Star, staring out the window into the deep black that never ended. He stared into the deep brown of a Planet where he had spent ten years of his life. Ten years of slavery... but the most happy ten years of his life.
A droid walked up beside Darth Vader and waited for him to allow him to speak.
"What?" Vador asked.
"Mission Complete. We have found the buried object in the sand."
"Take me to it immediately," Vader said, and the droid led him to the nearest ship and they set off to Tatooine.
Darth Vader arrived shortly, and was led to a large circle of armed droids, ready to fire and kill anything that wasn't authorized to be near the found object. Manual labor driods and machinse were scattered everywhere, and a large whole that was dug to find the precious object was left un-filled. When he neared the circle the droids made a space for him to walk through, and he quickly entered the space.
His eyes feasted on the object in the center of the circle. Nothing brought him more hapiness, sadness, and anger than the object he saw before him.
Before him he saw a casket. A very familiar casket built of scrap metal lay there, tightly fixed so none could open it. Darth Vader's soul, or what was left of it, came to brilliant sorrow as he observed the casket of Shmi Skywalker.
"Leave me!" Vader told the droids, and they complied immediately.
Once they were all a good distance away, Vader dropped to his knees before the casket and began to let the sorrow rush forward. His body wasn't able to produce tears anymore, but his soul ached with pain.
"If I had the chance mother... I would have never left Tatooine....," he said. "I would be with you... the only person who loved me for what I was and would continue no matter how I turned."
He looked up to the twin suns of Tatooine, and screamed as loud as he could. Waves of sand glided against his body as the wind picked up... but it all froze in one quick flash of light.
Darth Vader stood up and gazed at the time-frozen world around him. Then a ball of light opened and a shadowed figure appeared in the center. He could only make out long hair and a hooded robe, which was gently floating about it.
"Your wish can be granted, Anakin," the shadowed figure said with an echoing voice.
"Who are you?" Vader said.
"I am the one who can help you, Anakin," it replied.
"Anakin is no more," Darth Vader said with a disgusted tone.
"But he can be. All you have to do is agree and you can go back to Tatooine. It will be eight years after you denied Qui-Gon Jinn to be trained as a Jedi."
"What are the catches?" Darth Vader asked. "There can't be a deal this rich without you wanting me to give something in return."
"Your memories," the shadowed figure said.
"What memories?" Darth Vader questioned.
"Your memories of everything that took place after you left your mother."
"I don't want them...," he said. "But what do you want with them?"
"To destroy them," it replied. "These memories are fit for no being in the universe."
"Then work your magic," Darth said unbelievingly.
"You will see," it said, and with a flash Darth Vader took another path.

As you probably noticed, I seriously rushed through this chapter. I am REALLY ready to start Anakin's new life because I have so many outstanding ideas for him. So please move on to the next chapter (when it's up) before you judge it. :)
