Disclaimer: I do not own star wars. All belong to the wonderful George Lucas
Note: I believe the star wars series is such a success because all aspect of genre is put in to it; Drama, tragedy, romance, humor, action, adventure, etc and in someway people can relate to the star wars series. The story is about love, truth, justice, honor, greed and hate (probably more) and it is something we all experience at some point in our life. This is what is displayed in Star Wars and that is what made it a success…Well that's what I think. Enjoy the story…please review.

Chapter 10- The Only thing I can do
On Naboo.
After Padme listened to the message Anakin left she quickly headed to the main city in Naboo on her speedbike. She was upset that Anakin left, it had only been one day since Anakin returned to himself and he was already out and about trying to make things right. But this did not surprise Padme.
Ever since Anakin was a little boy, he was always determined to accomplish what he set out to do. "hehehe" Padme laughed on the speedbiker. " I'm going to marry you someday" Padme remembered Anakin saying. "He was only 10 then, and he knew I would be his wife someday." Padme said out loud smiling.
Her smile then turn to a sad worried look. "Oh Anakin, why do you always feel like you have to be the hero? You always felt like you had to make up for something, even before you were Darth Vader. I can only imagine what you are feeling now.?" Padme said to herself.
She sped off through the dense forest.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anakin was flying through space. He was headed to Coruscant, the Empire's main base of operation. He was thinking. "If everything works out right Padme can live the life she always wanted with me. This is the only thing I can do to make up all I have done to her. Despite the rebellion, it is Padme I hurt the most." He said to himself.
Anakin continued to think and speak out loud. "I can not believe after all these years she was alive. I guess, I have always known, but my dark side suppressed that feeling, and made me only remember myself strangling her." Anakin shook his head, ashamed at himself. "And after all that she still loves me…If it wasn't for her, I would still be that monster…And in some ways, I still think I am, that's why I must do this. I will not have the Emperor use my clone, my body…what is me , to do evil.
Anakin was coming up on Coruscant. "Now, I must play the role of Darth Vader and let no one suspect anything." He thought. Anakin wasn't too worried about that. He did hide his marriage and feelings for Padme all those times during the clone wars. "But they can't stop me," Anakin said out loud. "I will just crush them with my powers." He said cocky, with a smile.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Padme reached the City and headed for the Air control center. She used the speed elevator to reach the top.
"Commander" Padme called out. "Ah, Lt. La'dima? What are you doing here? We saw your pod leave Naboo this morning." The commander asked. "Actually it is not my pod, it belongs to… a friend of mine…He left before I got up this morning, but I was hoping if you can tell me what direction the pod left in." "Ah, I believe we can do that. Our radar log can tells us." The commander said.
He went to the computer and entered in code number to the board. "We communicated to the pod but no one responded." The commander continued. "Here" he pointed to the screen. "It looks like your friend flew off to the North East…that heading to Tattooine and, "Coruscant" Padme continued. "I bet that is where he is heading. The Empire Base of operation." Padme thought
"Commander do you have a starfighter I can use ?" she asked. "Yes…My Lady, Lt. If you are to go to Coruscant do be careful, part of the planet is occupied by the Empire. "I know." "You can head down to the flight hanger, I will have the Tech Droid get it ready for you. "Thank you Commander." Padme said as she left for the hanger.
Padme reached the flight hanger. "Lt. You starfighter is ready." A droid said directing her. "Thank You".
Padme got set up in the fighter and prepared for take off. She drove out to the flight dock. "Lt, you are cleared for take off." The control tower communicated to her.
Padme took off and headed towards Coruscant. She was thinking. "Coruscant…I haven't been there in almost 4 years, I wonder how thing have changed…so much has happened to this universe."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anakin flew into Coruscant, he passed by the tower of where he and Padme lived. A smile crossed his face as he remembered but then it soon turned to a frown. "So much has happened, all because of me." He said to himself. He flew pass the old Jedi temple. He remembered the youngling his killed as well. He shook his head in shame. "The monster I was." He said to himself.
Anakin landed the Pod ship at the Techno center in Coruscant. He sense that the Emperor was on Coruscant but no where near where he was. Anakin jumped out of his pod and began to run towards the building, but he stopped for a moment. "Slow down Anakin, I maybe powerful but I still do not want to give myself away." He reminded himself.
Anakin continued walking at a regular state. He was anxious to do what he set out to do. The sooner he can get this done the sooner he…or more his other self can get back to Padme.
"Padme I love you so much, and I am sorry that my greed to keep you alive turned me into a monster." Anakin thought closing his eyes trying to push out the bad times. "This is the only way I can right my wrong." He continued. "I do not even deserve to live" Anakin said sadly to himself.
Anakin reached the lab room. There were three troopers guarding the entrance. "Good day My Lord." One of them said. Anakin used the Jedi mind trick on them. "You three will wait down by that exit." They repeated and he continued. "I am not to be disturbed, let no one pass through here." They complied and headed down to the exit. Anakin could have just told them what to do, but he did not want them to have thoughts on what he is doing.
He opened the lab door and entered. Anakin went to the computer and entered in a code to release the metal shield covering the glass tube. Anakin turned his head to the left and there he looked upon a genetic replication of himself.
"I am going to make things right again."
To Be Continued.
