Chapter 12: Redemption
A/N: Remember that Vader is in a human form, because he never had that fateful duel with Obi-Wan, meaning he never fell in the lava pit, meaning he never needed the armor. Also, all the Jedi are still there, because he hadn't blown up the Jedi Council yet.
The black and silver sleek ship landed on the high landing platform of the Jedi council. Vader took off his black cloak, revealing his old Jedi Robes. He was surprised they still fit. He also had his old blue lightsaber, which he had gotten himself used to again. He clipped in on his belt, and breathed in. He let out the breath, and now was called Anakin again. He got in the elevator that led to the spire where the council was.
He opened the door, and saw Mace, Shaak, Yoda, Adi, Yaddle, Depa, and the other masters of the council. There was one new master on the council, Obi-Wan. He walked to the middle, and faced Yoda. All of the masters seemed shocked when he kneeled down, his head bowed low.
"Master Yoda, I plead your forgiveness, as I do with the other masters of the Jedi High Council. I have done much wrong, and I am seeking redemption from the dark path of the sith," Anakin said.
Yoda searched his mind. He was not trying to betray them. He was truly seeking forgiveness.
"Forgiveness, you are granted. Classes, you must go through. The last of evil inside of you, they will get rid of," Yoda said.
"Thank you, master," Anakin said.

Two months later, Anakin had finished the classes, and had gone on one mission. This day was the day that he would ask for help to find his wife, Padmè. He walked into a lone room where Yoda was.
"Help, you seek," Yoda said.
"Yes master," Anakin said.
"Know of your wife, we do," Yoda said.
"Yes master. She is in trouble," Anakin said.
"Help her alone, you will," Yoda said.
"Yes master," with that, Anakin bowed, and went for his ship.
He had repainted it, and added a radar system in it. It was now a deep blue, like the ocean, and it was newly named the Ocean Hawk. It was the fastest ship in the universe.
Anakin jumped in it, and turned on the strong weapon systems, just in case he ran into trouble out in space. He fired up the engine, and was off on his way to find Padmè.
As the ship sped toward Tatooine, he ran into trouble, as he had suspected. There were thirty TIE Fighters, and ten TIE bombers. A TIE Bomber fired, and Anakin dodged, as he turned the center turrets toward the TIE Bomber. He fired, and it exploded. Anakin turned up, and sped under another bomber, and turned up the left turrets, and fired. Another one was down. Anakin sped away from a green laser from a TIE Fighter, and then dodged a suicide TIE Bomber, and the bomber hit another bomber, and they both were destroyed.
Only six bombers left. The regular fighters would be easy.
Anakin spun and fired a homing missile at another bomber. The bomber was soon destroyed, and Anakin dodged another line of fire from a fighter. He blew up one bomber with the Force, and quickly dodged another bomber fire. He sped toward one bomber, pretending to be a suicide, and turned up at the last minute, letting the sharp bottom "fin" of his ship cut it in two, to soon blow up. He found that there was a homing bomb on him.
He got an idea, and set it in to action, and sped toward a bomber. He swerved around it, as the bomb hit the bomber. He quickly fired at another bomber, blowing it up. Only one more bomber left. He swerved, and dodged two more bombs, and then dodged another line of fire, as he shot the last bomber, blowing it up.
He quickly reached into the Force, and spread Force Lightning throughout four of the fighters. Then, with one line of fire, he destroyed seven more. He set on deflector shields, and let the fighters fire at him, deflecting the bolts and destroying three more fighters. He shot down a quick six more, only leaving ten fighters.
Anakin dodged another line of fire, and jetted around a pair of fighters. He turned his laser cannons, and the two fighters were gone within seconds. He cut another in two with the sharp bottom "fin" and then shot another down. He shot down a couple more before shooting three homing missiles to finish off the last ones.
Before he started to head toward Tatooine, he saw the Slave 1 come out of hyperspace, and start firing. He set the autopilot, and set it to dodge any lasers it sensed. Then he set it on max defense just in case, and took a controller for the ship's on/off autopilot with him, as he headed for an escape pod.
He picked the black escape pod so that whoever the driver was wouldn't see it. He got in it, and took off as his ship started to move accordingly to its orders. He headed the pod toward the ship, and docked on it. He made sure that Padmè was on the ship by feeling out with the Force. She was there.
He jumped out of the ship, and felt out with the Force again. She was very near. He got to a door, and silently opened it. He awoke Padmè, and heard a blaster sound. He quickly turned, and deflected the blaster bolt from a storm trooper with his blue lightsaber.
"Padmè. Hurry, get to the ship. I'll handle this. If I'm not back in thirty minutes, leave without me," Anakin yelled as he deflected another bolt. There were six more storm troopers left, but Anakin sensed something else.
"But, Vader," Padmè started.
"First of all," Anakin started with deflecting another bolt, "don't call me that. I'm Anakin again. Secondly," he deflected another bolt, "Don't argue. I don't care if I don't make it through this, but I do care if you do, and you will. Now go!"
Padmè didn't argue, and went out of Anakin's sight. Anakin cut down the last storm trooper, and a man dropped from above. He took a lightsaber handle from his belt, and ignited the red blade.
