The Last Redemption
Prologue
"If you will not turn," the wicked and old Emperor Palpatine grimly said, "you will be destroyed!" At that instant, Palpatine raised both his hands and shot out the purge of the dark side of the Force. It struck Luke Skywalker, filling him with the worst form of pain and agony he had ever experienced.
Darth Vader, in his broken armor, stood from the side where his hand been cut off and slowly moved himself to the spot next to Palpatine. Beneath the shell that was the cold and dark exterior of Darth Vader, was the face of the once good Anakin Skywalker. He heard the cries of his son in agony, calling for aid from his father.
"Father, please help!" Luke called to Vader.
Vader stood quietly in that moment of horror. He stood behind Palpatine for a moment and closed his eyes as an old man. When he opened them again, he opened them as a young man.
Anakin Skywalker opened his eyes after smelling what seemed like miles and miles of asphalt and lava that just recently exploded from volcanoes nearby. He looked around himself and saw the area he was in. He was back on Mustafar, standing however, on an unfamiliar platform. Ahead of him, there was a large durasteel door that stood silently shut.
Before deciding to enter the door, he looked at himself. He was wearing the same bold attire that he wore the day he turned to evil and became Darth Vader. But something was different. Anakin had felt something in his arm that he hadn't felt for so long. He saw the long glove that he wore, but he didn't feel the mechanical arm underneath. Instead, he felt the old organic arm he was born with. Once again, Anakin examined his arm and felt that he was completely human again.
Anakin stepped forward and walked for the door. He warily took out his lightsaber and prepared himself for danger, for he felt it behind the door. He felt a danger that gave him memories of fear and hatred behind. He began to hear voices of pain that came from those whom he loved most.
And then, the door slowly opened.
For a moment, Anakin reminisced. He remembered his experiences on Naboo when he had an old master before Obi-Wan Kenobi. He remembered that in the hangar they were in, there was a door that opened exactly like the way this door was opening right now.
In Anakin's memory, he remembered that the Sith that killed Qui-Gon Jinn stood behind.
In this current battle for redemption, Anakin saw that behind the door stood the mechanical, dark, breathing figure that was the shell of Darth Vader.
