Anakin's Redemption
Chapter 4: Past, Present, And Future?
Anakin marched to the temple. He removed his Vader mask. He found it making him a monster, not human. So he walked along with clones ready for anything. When he arrived there. He entered inside with caution.At first all Anakin wanted was to destroy the temple and get on to the senate. But he then thought. Was this the right thing? No, don't think that., he told himself. To avenge Padme. Her life and our child, I must do what my master says, I must. Then at the thought of his ''master'' he thought of his former. Obi-Wan. He wondered was Obi-Wan on Corusant. Had he fled to a remote planet. Did he go to Padme's funeral. No, he told himself again. Stop thinking about her and what might of happened
FlashbackANAKIN: Padme, I saw your ship . . .
They embrace.
PADME: Oh, Anakin!
ANAKIN: It's all right, you're safe now. What are you doing out here?
PADME: I was so worried about you. Obi-Wan told me terrible things.
ANAKIN: What things?
PADME: He said you have turned to the dark side . . . that you killed younglings.
ANAKIN: Obi-Wan is trying to turn you against me.
PADME: He cares about us.
ANAKIN: Us!
PADME: He knows . . . He wants to help you.
ANAKIN: Is Obi-Wan going to protect you? He can't ... he can't help you. He's not strong enough.
PADME: Anakin, all I want is your love.
ANAKIN: Love won't save you, Padme. Only my new powers can do that.
PADME: At what cost? You are a good person. Don't do this.
ANAKIN: I won't lose you the way I lost my mother! I've become more powerful than any Jedi has ever dreamed of and I've done it for you. To protect you.
PADME: Come away with me. Help me raise our child. Leave everything else behind while we still can.
ANAKIN: Don't you see, we don't have to run away anymore. I have brought peace to the Republic. I am more powerful than the Chancellor. I can overthrow him, and together you and I can rule the galaxy. Make things the way we want them to be.
PADME: I don't believe what I'm hearing . . . Obi-Wan was right. You've changed.
ANAKIN: I don't want to hear any more about Obi-Wan. The Jedi turned against me. Don't you turn against me.
PADME: I don't know you anymore. Anakin, you're breaking my heart. I'll never stop loving you, but you are going down a path I
can't follow.
ANAKIN: Because of Obi-Wan?
PADME: Because of what you've done . . . what you plan to do. Stop, stop now. Come back! I love you.
ANAKIN: (seeing Obi-Wan) Liar!
PADME turns around and. sees OBI-WAN standing in the doorway of the Naboo Cruiser.
PADME: No!
ANAKIN: You're with him. You've betrayed me! You brought him here to kill me!
PADME: NO! Anakin. I swear ... I ...
ANAKIN reaches out, and PADME grabs her throat as she starts to choke.
OBI-WAN: Let her go, Anakin.
ANAKIN: What have you and she been up to?
OBI-WAN: Let her go!
ANAKIN releases his grip on the unconscious PADME and she crumples to the ground.
ANAKIN: You turned her against me.
OBI-WAN: You have done that yourself.
ANAKIN: You will not take her from me.
ANAKIN throws off his cloak.
OBI-WAN: Your anger and your lust for power have already done that.
End of flashback
Anakin's POV
What if I had went with her? Would she be safe right now? Would I be on Naboo with her preparing for our baby?
He thought for awhile while continuing his march inside the temple. He reached the council room and could no longer hided his dream.
Dream
Padme lay on the grass. Anakin was next to her. He was holding her. Comforting her. His hair the same way it had been. She kissed him. It seemed as if nothing was wrong. There love blossoming as it did before. Before Anakin's change. Anakin who was intrigued by this dream studied himself. Was this a vision of what might of happened? Or what will? Anakin shook his head while continuing to watch his dream. He saw the scar by his eye, which would have been there anyways. He couldn't notice anything that could give it away. Until. The scar by his mouth. He has acquired that while battling Obi-Wan. So this was the future. Anakin was all excited. Maybe this was him when he died and became one with the force. He then noticed Pamde's stomach. It was not bulging with pregnancy, but appeared rounder. Not the same skinny Padme he new before the Clone Wars. He was starting to doubt that this was a vision and maybe just a dream. He then saw 2 children run out. A boy and a girl. The boy looking exactly like Anakin. The girl a splitting image of her mother. He then saw…Obi-Wan walk out. The dream Anakin smiled at him. Obi-wan smiled back.
end of dream
Anakin shook his head. This was a dream. What he WANTED to happen. A tear found its way to his shoulders. He then realized, he will not avenge Padme by destroying the Jedi temple and destroying the senate. He would avenged her by killing Sideous. And then not processing him. But giving the galaxy back to democracy. He thought of Padme's answer to all of this. He thought to himself of her encouraging words. They told him that after all he did she loved him and was proud of him. Another tear reached his shoulders. Once Again this is what he wanted to her to say, and to think. And he knew that it was not what she would say.
Obi-Wan felt it weird that Anakin continued to stop at times. And that tears fell from his face. Yoda found it odd too. But Obi-Wan pondered at what he was thinking. He didn't want to know. He and master Yoda where then shocked to here him say to the head clone
'' Stop all clones to the Jedi temple. Do not do any damage. I will tell my master I have destroyed it. He will believe. For now. He won't live to see that it still stands. And search the city for any surving Jedi.''
The clone answered back
''What about the clones stationed at the senate building and Corusant's medical center?''
'' Palpantine has control of those. I would retreat them if I could. But I can't''
Anakin almost sounded sad. This surprised the clone.
'' Lord Vader what are you planning to do with lord Sideous ''
'' First. I plan to kill him and allow the Republic to live in peace once more. Second its not Vader. Its Skywalker''
Obi-wan went white. He hated not knowing what was going no. he was always a man who knew what was happening now he was clueless to Anakin's plan. Could he trust him. Was he really going to kill Palpantine and save the Republic. He worried and then glanced at Master Yoda
''The prophecy is coming true''
Obi-Wan was once again speechless
