Author's Note: As usual, thanks for all the reviews! Some of the reviews have mentioned that I moved too fast in this story…well that was the entire intention from the beginning. But I have another Ani redemption fic that is currently on hiatus at the moment, but believe me that story will move much slower. So enjoy this chapter! Sorry its so short!

Chapter Thirty:

Anakin stood out on the tiny balcony that was attached to the small apartment that he, Padmé, Leia and Alyssa all shared. Obi-Wan was just down the hall, while Sabé had been called away by the Rebel Alliance. She was one of their best undercover operatives.

Anakin sighed deeply as he starred out into the night sky. The gas giant of Bespin shone brightly in the night's sky.

"Ani, what is it?" Padmé gently asked as she joined him on the balcony.

"I'm worried about Luke."

"We all are. But you can't dwell on it. We'll get him back soon."

"You don't understand Padmé. Palpatine is very persuasive. And he can work very, very fast. That's what happened to me. He's able to pinpoint something that is bugging you and grind away at it until you can't bare it anymore."

Anakin softly punched the balcony railing. Padmé gently wrapped her arms around him and lay her head against his broad back. She wished that she could reverse everything that had ever been done. She wished that Ani had never turned to the dark side and that Palpatine had never risen to power.

Yet nothing could be done. But they could influence the future. And that was exactly what she hoped would happen.

"Have you changed your mind yet boy?" the Emperor snared.

"I'm never going to turn. You may have turned my father, but he over came it." Luke said confidently.

"Are you sure about that boy?"

Luke didn't say anything.

The emperor smiled evilly as he searched Luke's feelings through the Force. "I can feel your conflict. Let go of everything and I will help you see the right path."

Luke narrowed his gaze at the aged man. "Why did my father turn?"

The Emperor smiled as he began to his twisted tale. This was the best way to corrupt this young Skywalker. A twisted tale of how his father turned to the dark side.

"Worried you are."

Anakin slowly opened his eyes from his meditative position.

Standing before him was Master Yoda.

"Master Yoda! What are you doing here?" Anakin said shocked.

"Bad things are happening. Act soon we must."
