A/N: Okay, i think I know where this is going, but there's going to be a bit of a skip in time...

See prologue below for info on what's happened in the last month...





Proluge to the Chapter----- About month have passed since Obi-wan, Padme and Dorme, fled to tattoine. They live far on the outskirts of Mos Espa, and remain in hding as the council, who are all 12 hidden on dagobagh, plan the Jedi's next move.....

Anakin, is still on the volcanic planet.He has surrvived by meditating for days on end... Although, even he is just about on the end of his rope...

And Sideous and Vader, are well, still sith. Sideous pretty much rules most of the galaxy. Vader is happy being the second in command, and while he can't locate kenobi through the force, he still plans his revenge.

Anakin slowly blinked his eyes. He had just heard a noise. A loud noise.

He stood up and streched.

Anakin walked out of the cave which he had been meditating in, and looked around.

A glint of something in the planets mild sun caught his eye.

~It couldn't be? could it?~ He thought, walking towards the object quickly.

He came to a stop on a rock out-cropping and stared.

A ship.

Finally a ship.

Anakin heart raced as he blinked quickly to make sure that the ship really was there.

It was.

Anakin began to run towards it as fast as he could.

After a few seconds, he reached the silver ship.

Just as he did, two uniformed & masked people walked out.

"Halt, who are you?" One of the beings said.

"I...I.. Anakin Skywalker." Anakin stuttered, still in shock that there actually was a ship on this desolate planet.

"You can't be, Skywalker died a month or so back. Right before the Burning of the Jedi Temple." One of the masked members of the crew said.

"The..Temple...Burned?" Anakin stutered in disbelief.

The person nodded.

"So who are you, Really?" Someone asked him.

"Uh... You can call me Ani....uh, Nabberie." Anakin said, saying the first thing that came to mind. "Who are you?"

The apparent leader pulled off her helmet.

She shook her short auburn hair out, "I am Leera, This is my friend Ria Acklay." She stated gestyring over to her friend.

Ria took her helmet off, and revealed that she was a Twi'lek. She had bright blue skin, and deep, dark black eyes.

Anakin could sense a remnant of th force from her.

"Are you a Jedi?" He asked her.

Ria nodded, "Used to be. I was kicked out of the temple when I got too old and still didn't have a master. The council managed to track me down anyway and sent me to this poor excuse for a planet." she said.

"The council sent you hear?" Anakin questioned.

"God, how long have you been out of it?" Lera asked him.

"A month or so...Why? has anything major happened?" Anakin asked.

Ria snorted, "Not too much. Palpatine dissovled the Republic, declared he was a sith, someone set the Temple on fire, the Jedi evactuated corusant so there's a couple Jedi on basicaly every liveable planet, and Sideous is trying to kill us all." she shrugged sarcasticaly.

Anakin stared at them, his mind reeling.

Without his grasp on the force, he had no idea wheter or not they were telling the truth, but something within Ani told him that everything they had just said was true.

"Do...Do you know what happened to Naboo's Senator?" he faintly asked, half dreading the answer.

Ria nodded, "She disapeard right after the temple was evacuated. I assume she went along with some Jedi."

Anakin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Does your ship work?" He asked them.

Ria nodded, warily."We're instructed to stay here until the council tells us they're ready to attack Sideous." she told him.

"I don't care, I need off of this planet." Anakin told her.

"Wait a minute, it's our ship.At least tell us why you need to get back to wherever you came from, and why that is more important than an order from the Jedi council." Ria demanded.

"Ok," Anakin said. "My name is Anakin Skywalker, I am the chosen one. My master is Obi-wan Kenobi, my wife is Padme Amidala. I have been stuck on this blasted planet for over a month. I need to get back to my master because I need to apologise so that I am not thrown out of the Order. And I would like to see my wife again too. But now, after waiting alone on this sorry excuse for a planet, you finally come with a ship, and you won't let me use it because you have an order to stay on this burnt rock until that little green tells you to leave!" Anakin yelled.

Ria and Leera stared at him for a moment, silent.

"Okaaaaay, I think that's a good enough reason." Leera slowly said.

Ria nodded, "This planet does not look like some place I would like to stay, anyway..." She said.

"So we can go?!" Anakin asked.

Ria shrugged, "Sure."

"Yes!" Anakin said in relief.

Leera turned back to the ship, and walked in.

Ria looked back at Ani, "I guess we can leave now." she said, and the two walked back into the ship.

~Finally, ~ Anakin thought, taking a seat within the ship. ~I'm actually going to see Obi-wan and Padme again. I can finally tell them I am sorry......~
