Padme screamed. In the distance she could see Anakin's body.
Obi-wan whipped around, also seeing Anakin.
"Anakin!" he yelled, and they ran over, ollowed by Leera.
Padme reached him first.
Anakin was face-down in the sand, not moving.
"Ani..Ani...Oh, Ani!" padme whispered, in shock, trying to turn him over.
Obi-wan skidded to a stop, and crouched down next to Padme, helping her turn Anakin over.
Obi-wan mentally reached into the force, franticaly searching for his padawans presence.
A secong later, obi-wan found it. He let out a sigh of relief.
He turned to Padme,"He's alive... we need to get him inside."
Padme nodded.
With that, Obi-wan did his best to lift Anakin up, and with Padme and Leera's help, they got him inside.
Obi-wan laid Anakin out on the couch, then turned to Padme, "I need to contact the Council, keep watch over him."
Padme nodded, and Obi-wan retreated to his room.
He drew out his commlink, and dialed Master Windu's commlink.
"Who is this?" A voice caustisouly asked.
"Knight Obi-wan Kenobi." he replied.
"This is Master windu, what's wrong?" Mace's voice asked.
Obi-wan sighed, and began to Mace what had happened in the last couple days, ending with killing Xanatos, otherwise known as Darth Vader.
When he finnished, Mace was silent for a minute.
"So, basically, your saying that your apprentice came back, the two of you killed two sith, are taking care of a force-sensitve girl, Xanatos Crion came back from the dead, you killed him, His master is on his way, and Anakin is blacked-out?" Mace asked evenly.
Obi-wan paused, "yes, that's about it." he said.
"I will alert the council of...the happenings." Mace slowly said. "What are you planning to do now?" he asked.
"Well, I was hoping the concil would voice their opinions." Obi-wan said.
Mace sighed, "Stay where you are. I shall alert the council, and we shall contact you.May the forcebe with you."
"Thank you Master, May the force be with you also." Obi-wan replied, and shut his commlink off.
Obi-wan let out a deep breath. Battling Xanatos had tired him. He rubbed his fingers against his temples, and with that, got up, and returned to the living room, to see how Anakin was doing....
_______________________
Padme sat on the floor, next to Anakin.
A while ago, she had sent Leera to her room, so she could get some sleep.
She watched him silently, her mind racing.
What would happen to them now?
Obi-wan had told her of the Sith, and he had told her that he could feel Palpatine drawing near.
Just the thought of Palpatine made her sick! How could he have done the horrors he had done?
Padme pushed those thoughts out of her mind.
She heard something stir behind her.
Padme slowly turned around, her gaze resting on Anakin.
She leaned over him, "Ani?" she whispered.
His eyelids fluttered, and slowly opened.
He stared at her for a moment, then a slight smile crossed his face.
Padme smiled back,"How do you feel, Ani?" she whispered.
He paused,"I've never been better." he said with a grin.
Padme leaned closer, and they kissed pasionately.
a minute later, she pulled away, "I've missed you." She whispered.
"I missed you so much, All I wanted was to tell you that I was sorry." Anakin said.
"What for?" padme asked, a bit curiously.
"Leaving you."
Padme closed her eyes and embraced Anakin, "I love you." she whispered.
"I love you too, I always have." Anakin whispered back.
A cough came from behind them.
They jerked away from each other, And looked up at Obi-wan.
"I..I spoke with Master Windu." Obi-wan said, trying to compose himself.
Anakin nodded, "What did he say, Master?"
"He said to stay here until the council could contact us."
"Will We?" Anakin asked.
Obi-wan shook his head, "Of course we will do as the council wishes, unless the force guides us to do otherwise."
Anakin nodded.
They were silent for a moment, "I can feel him master." Anakin quietly said.
Obi-wan nodded grimly.
"For now, we shall be patient." Obi-wan muttered, retreating to his room to meditate....

Mace Windu ducked his head as he walked into Master Yoda's small home that also served as a meeting place for the council.
He walked down a hallway, and found the door he was looking for.
Silently, he opened the door, revealing a staircase, leading downward.
Sevral minutes later, Mace reached the bottom of the stairs, and knocked on the door.
Footsteps could be heard from behind.
"Coming, I am." Master Yodas muffled voice called, and soon after, the door opened.
Mace bowed, and yoda nodded, "Welcome you, we do, Master Windu..." he said.
Mace nodded, "Thank you." he replied, and entered the large room.
The makeshift council room was quite large, about 20 standard feet by 20.
Mace took his seat, as did yoda.
"News, you have?" Yoda asked him.
Mace grimmly nodded, and began to tell the council of the happenings on tattoine....
Quite some time later, he finnished talking.
A silence hung over the room for a moment.
"Knight Kenobi is asking for the council's opinion of what they should do now." Mace continued.
Yoda sighed,"Meditate, we shall, but have good feeling from this, I do not."
Mace nodded.
Silence fell over thecouncil room, as the twelve Jedi closed their eyes and sank deep into meditation...

Far off, in another part of the galaxy, Lord Sideous paced around his shuttle.
He had felt the death of Vader's apprentice, Ria, and shortly after he had felt the death of Vader.
That was quite un fourtunate, he had worked quite hard with Xanatos, but the man had already been consumed with darkness. Maybe Qui-gon's other apprentice, Kenobi, would share Xanatos's anger.....There was always some jedi that could be turned, if Sideous looked hard enough.....
That green troll was hiding most of them, though.... Sideous snarled, and threw his head back, "You will mot win! This is my time!!! My Time!! I shall rule!!!" he yelled.
In Anger he used the force to throw the nearest chair against the wall.
Ahhhh..Yes...Power, it satisfied him. The power to crush an object at his will. More! more! his mind screeched.
With a grin, Sideous raised his hands, and dozens of small objects that littered the rooms raised up in the air.
Broken datapads, papers, a few ornamental things, and more all rose.
In a sweeping motion, Sideous swirled the objects sending them all crashing agaisnt the wall.
A knock at the door.
Sideous whipped around.
Who would dare disturb him?!
"Come in, scum." he hissed.
The timid co-pilot darted in, and bowed.
"Yesss?" Sideous hissed.
"We..We will be arriving shortly..." the co-pilot stuutered.
"Ahh, good....Leave." Sideous ordered.
The pilot bowed deeply and hurried off.
Sideous grinned, ~Soon,~ he thought, ~Soon.......~
