"You're sure about this Chosen One?" a long dead Jedi Master asked his younger, but no less dead companion.

"Yes, yes," the Chosen one said, waving his hand dismissively. "Master, could you call me by my name, Anakin? I hate being called Chosen One! It's nonsense!"

"Hate is of the darkside," Master Windu answered, and almost as an after thought added, "Vader."

"Vader now?" Anakin questioned, eyes glowering. "Like I haven't heard that enough. And besides," he said with a smirk, "A knight named Vergere once told me that there is no darkside." Anakin crossed his arms and raised his chin as if he had been awarded best actor in a holodrama.

Master Windu took this all in stride. Anakin was acting as if they were sparring with lightsabers and he'd just scored a point against an "old man". "No darkside, eh? So that little stunt, killing millions of innocents, destroying the Jedi Order and the Republic, only to bring about a reign of terror over the galaxy," Master Windu added dryly, "That wasn't the darkside?"

"Hey, but--" Anakin started.

"NO excuses," Windu reprimanded, "We must focus on the situation involving your grandson. Hopefully he's not as stupid as his namesake."

"Namesake?" Anakin kidded, without missing a beat, "I don't have a grandson named Chosen One or Vader. Who is it you're speaking of?"

He was silenced with a glare.

"See, it's simple." Anakin said with Jedi certainty, "We've already sent him to the future. Or the future he would have had. Now it's all up to Anakin and his daughter to fix their future."

Mace Windu gave him a look and lifted one skeptical eyebrow.

"I have complete faith in my grandson." Anakin said, not entirely truthful. "I mean, we wouldn't be here in the first place if he hadn't screwed up his destiny by getting killed. And also acting without thinking of the consequences," Anakin admitted. "But..."

"Seems to be a trait of the Skywalker family, don't you think?" Mace coughed out with a hint of a smile.

Anakin ignored him. "But that is all in the past. This is his last chance. He will not mess this up!" He declared, and then added darkly, "Or else." Nothing in Anakin's demeanor suggested he was joking.
