Chapter 14- My mission
The medical droid entered Padme's room, it startled Anakin. "Hello Sir, Are you feeling alright." The driod asked in a soft slow womanly voice.
"Oh…right" Anakin said sitting up on the bed. "I just have a headache, I was bashed around a bit." He responded.
"Lie down and let me scan you…Hmmm, you seem physically alright. Your heart rate is up though." The droid said. "Yaa, I had a bit too much excitement today." Anakin said. "Nothing, but, sleep will cure." The droid said humoursly. "One more thing." The droid turned around and stuck him with a needle. "Hey…ohh..wha..what did you do…" Anakin trailed off as he collapsed asleep. "That should help you sleep soundly…Good night Sir." The droid said as she rolled out of the room.

Padme sat in the side office in the Officers' Chamber. She was thinking of what she was going say.
"What am I going to tell them?...I can't tell them I was able to turn Vader back to the good side because of our love for each other…If they found out about our relationship, but then again… they probably have some idea of our relationship after what happened four years ago. They would probably think I am crazy for bringing him here. No…I have to make them understand the situation. I will tell them what I can."
"Umm…Padme…Lt.!" Aayla said trying to get Padme's attention. "The rebels are assembled in the Chambers. 137 were able to come." Aayla continued to say.
"Alright, Thanks…I'll be right out." Padme said.
She got up and walked out into the Chambers. Faces turned and looked at her. For a few seconds Padme felt nervous, but she gathered her feelings. "Come on Padme, you have done this a thousand times before, what makes this different…Anakin, right." Padme thought trying to psych herself out.
"Welcome, thank you for coming on such short notice. I would not have called this meeting if I did not think it was important." She began to say.
"Well, I'm just going to get to the point…Anakin Skywalker is here now, on this base." Padme said forwardly and clear.
A whisper of voices started to fill the room. "What do mean he is here? Has Vader taken over the base." A rebel asked.
"No…that is not what I mean." Padme answered back. "Then what do you mean Lt.?"
"On our last mission, while we were on the Star ship, I received information that the Emperor had cloned Ana…Darth Vader and that he was going to use the clone so Vader can have a human body again and too be twice as strong. I had to see if it were true…so when I escaped…I headed to Naboo and then to Coruscant." She continued to say.
"Lt…you went by yourself?" Jahlec asked. "Yes, I did. I was able to get in slightly un noticed. When I got in to the Techno center…there he was, the genetic replication of Anakin Skywalker. So I only did what I believed to be right…I released him from hibernation and brought him here."
"Now the problem is that he has no memory of becoming Darth Vader, he has no memory of what occurred over the past four years. There are only few things he can remember but the last thing he knows of is fighting in the Clone Wars. Things are still not clear to him…all of this did happen today. Only time will tell what he will remember." Padme said
"What he will remember! What if he does remember becoming Darth Vader?" A rebel said with concern.
"He won't become Vader again…he can't. He clearly knows that he…Vader is the enemy." Padme answered back. "How do you know that Lt?." The rebel asked again
"I..I just know…I am asking you guys to trust me on this. You know I would never purposely put the rebellion in danger." Padme said
"We do trust Lt…It's just…We all know what Anakin is capable of doing…he is too powerful…how can we trust him." Zyette said
"We can trust him if we can show him to trust us. To be honest with you…he is afraid and he needs guidance and I am asking if you guys can see and treat him as if he is not Vader…treat him as the man you know before he became Darth Vader.
"What happenes if he sees or faces Darth Vader? What then?" Jahlec asked. "He already has and he knows him to be the enemy. He does not know that Vader is him and I hope it stays that way." Padme said.
"How can you deny the fact that he should know who he is.?" A rebel asked. "I'm not denying that he shouldn't know, I'm saying that when the time is right he will come to see the truth and it would be up to him to accept it or not."
"Lt. I don't understand…You say he has some memories of the Clone Wars..and what not, and with time he will remember more, but not remember becoming Vader!…How are you sure he won't?" Treyco asked
"Before we took Anakin out of hibernation, we download his life memories up to before he turned to the darkside, avoiding all the possible negative influences he had." Padme said remembering Anakin's dream of her dying.
"We!...Was someone else there with you?" Treyco asked.
Padme hesitated. "Yes." "Who Lt , if you don't mind me asking."
"I don't want to lie to you, when I got there…someone was there to help. I cannot tell you who this person was but it was an outside source that helped me retrieve Anakin."
The rebellion looked at Padme, wondering what to think and what to do.
"Please…all I ask you is to trust me and give him a chance. I have asked General Kenobi to come. I informed him of the situation and hopefully he ca help too…Are you all ok with this?" Padme asked looking around the room.
The rebels looked around the room nodding their heads, seeming as if they will do what the Lt. asked.
"Well Lt..It looks like we are ok with it. We will treat him like the true Anakin we all knew." Aayla said for the rest of the rebellion.
"Thank you, and please let all others not here know of the situation. And if anyone has an issues they would like to discuss with me...please don't hesitate to come a see me." Padme said feeling a bit better about the situation.
"Now, Anakin has been in genetic hibernation for 3 years now which makes him over 30. He may look a little different but you will recognize him. He does remember some things but not much yet. I assume soon he will regain his memory but for now…please be careful of what you say to him." Padme said. The rebels around her nodded complying with what she said.
"Now, there is another issue that I regret , failing my ultimate mission…we were caught as we were leaving the Techno Center, we managed to escape but…Darth Vader knows I am alive…he saw me. And now that we have Anakin I fear that the Emperor will not take too kindly to this news and act on it…I think I just made the Republic's fight a lot harder." Padme said sadly.
"Hey Lt…It's not you fault. We have faced many tough obstacles before. We are not going to let this situation be the end of it." Treyco said to enlighten the Lt.
"Don't worry Lt. if they will fight hard to get you…we will fight harder to keep you." Zyette said smiling.
"Don't doubt yourself Lt, you are the heart of all of us, we are behind you all the time…no matter what the situation is. If the Emperor wants a piece of you…he has to take a piece of us too." Jahlec said with confidence
"Thank you, so much" Padme said smiling. She was so happy and thankful to have these rebels be more then just soldiers, she had them as friends and family. And they were willing to do anything to fight for her and the republic.
