Dreams of the Future

Chapter 4: Out of the Window

"Exterminate order sixty six"

"Yes my lord".

Anakin gasped.

When Palpatine saw the expression on Anakin's face he cackled. "Anakin come here". Palpatine motioned Anakin to the broken window in his office.

Anakin walked towards the window without hesitation. He knew that Palpatine was trying to make him afraid, and he would not show it. Anakin looked out the window. To his horror hundreds of clone troopers were marching towards the Jedi temple. Palpatine laughed.

"For a second I actually doubted you Anakin.

"What do you mean" Anakin said coldly.

"I actually thought that you would be able to stop me. Ha, know one can stop me! Anakin, I would still let you join the dark side, even after what you have done to me"

"Idiot" Anakin snarled "I see through your lies, I will never join you, even if I die.

Palpatine sighed. "Very well, but you will regret it". Palpatine drew his lightsaber and ignited it. Anakin, still turned towards the broken window quietly drew his, ready for any strike.

"Fool! Don't you know that you can't win?"

Palpatine lunged for Anakin, Anakin spun around and blocked the attack. Palpatine cackled as their lightsabers locked for a few seconds, Anakin spun around and launched a series of attacks on Palpatine. Palpatine blocked them with ease. Palpatine kicked Anakin in the stomach, Anakin stumbled. Taking the oppurtunity Palpatine striked and cut Anakin on his leg. Anakin stumbled back, trying to contain the pain. Palpatine cackled again, before launching a new series of attacks on Anakin, which Anakin blocked. They both circled eachother. Palpatine laughed again as he watched Anakin trying to catch his breath. "If you think that's bad, the fun is just beginning!" Palpatine lunged for Anakin again, taking a big swipe at Anakin's lightsaber and Anakin's lightsaber flew from his hand. Palpatine held his red lightsaber to Anakin's throat.

"I have won! Now I will have your heart on a spit"

"Come and get it then" Anakin hissed.

Palpatine frowned. "Now Anakin, that wasn't really a challenge. I know that I really shouldn't be doing this, but because I am so forgiving...Anakin this is your last chance. Will you join the dark side and help me rule the galaxy"

No way...but...I could... An odd idea came to Anakin. Well it wasn't that odd...but...chancy. But in a way...it was full proof.

"Well...can I think about it Palpatine?"

"Well...Anakin...normally I would say no, but I guess it couldn't hurt"

Wrong thought Anakin thought smugly. Anakin stood up. He climbed onto the broken window sill. The wind from outside ruffled his hair.

"Well...ok so if I join the dark side, you will help me save Padme's life right?" Anakin looked out the window at the speeders speeding by.

"That's right Anakin, we will save your wife and child and together we can rule the galaxy".

"So we will both be ruling the galaxy...together right?" Should I jump? I will probably die, but its better dyeing by jumping out the window then being killed by Palpatine's lightsaber or joining the dark side.

"Yes Anakin, we will both rule the galaxy together. Actually I have a brilliant plan, for a space station, you would be in charge of it. It will be the ultimate destruction"

Perhaps you have said too much? Anakin thought. Ok I'm going to jump, one...two...three...WAIT! Anakin looked around, who was talking to him? Wait untill I say now.

"Anakin, I'm getting impatient... So will you be my apprentice? I will teach you all power, and you will be even more powerful then me"

Ready...set...NOW! And Anakin dived out of the window.

The next chapter will be a lot longer. Thanks for reviews, more reviews!
