AN: Enjoy! There may be like 1 or 2 more chapters then I previously thought! So that's great news for ya'll!

Chapter Thirty-Six:

"Move to Naboo we must now." Yoda said.

Padmé looked at Yoda with worry in her eyes. Had the Emperor found her and Alyssa? Had Anakin failed? A thousand different scenarios ran through her head all at once. But she knew that she better do as Yoda said.

"Ok we'll leave as soon as possible."


Anakin had never been so scared in his life. No for himself, but for his son. He didn't want to hurt Luke. But he knew that he was going to have to.

He and Obi-Wan stood side by side, as Luke took a position up across from them with Palpatine behind him. All three of them had their lightsabers powered on – Obi-Wan and Anakin held blue ones and Luke held a crimson red one.

"Luke I know that this isn't what you want! Don't let Palpatine control you!" Anakin said calmly.

"Palpatine told me the truth about you! You were once evil! You kept all these secrets from me! And I think it was wrong to do so!" Luke said in return, practically snarling at his father.

Luke made the first move, which was a surprise to everyone. He leapt up and quickly approached his father, while using his free hand to know Obi-Wan off to the side. Obi-Wan landed hard against the wall and laying on the ground motionless.

Luke laughed evilly as he and his father began to parry. That worried Anakin even more. How deep was Luke in with the dark side? Could he even be saved?


Leia didn't know what to think about what was going on in front of her. Was her father really Darth Vader at one time? She had heard about a Darth Vader growing up who was evil. Yet he wasn't around long. But there was absolutely no way that her father could have been evil! There was just no way.

Then there was Luke. He was now Palpatine's apprentice. But who would want to be his apprentice anyways? The man was so ugly! She wanted to run up to Luke, take him by the shoulders and try to talk some sense into him, but she knew that she couldn't. Her father had said to stay back with Kelista

She watched in horror as her father and twin brother began to fight each other. And it scared her. She had just found them both after so long and now one of them might be taken away again. That was the last thing she wanted.

The fight seemed to go on forever.

"NO DADDY!" she cried out as Anakin stumbled backwards and landed against the ground and Luke held his lightsaber tightly against their father's throat.

She knew that she had to do something quickly. Then she spotted Obi-Wan's lightsaber on the ground next to his still motionless body. She quickly moved past Kelista, who didn't realize it until too late.

"Leia no!" Kelista cried out as she watched Leia snatch up the lightsaber and sprint towards her father and brother.


Anakin took a deep breath and closed his eyes as he waited for Luke to finish him off. He would have still been fighting but when he fell, his lightsaber had slid across the room.

Yet instead of feeling the searing pain of a lightsaber cut, he smelt something. He smelt the ozone of two lightsabers connecting with each other.

He opened his eyes in amazement to find Leia blocking Luke's potentially fatal blow.
