Hio! Here's another update!

First, a few changes. They all go to see the emperor together, not individually.

SOMETHING REALLY IMPORTANT: the end to the story is near!

Read and review!

Harry, Ron, Hermoine, Obi-Wan and Padmé followed the storm troopers to some very large room. Inside toward one end of the room was the man in black, behind his master, the emperor.

" Come in, my friends…" The emperor smiled. He took notice to the three teenagers, then Obi-Wan, and finally Padmé, who looked very upset, yet determined. Harry noticed that the man in black (Vader) had 2 lightsabers on his belt. One was his own, and the other belonged to Obi-Wan.

" It has been a long time, Obi-Wan Kenobi!" Palpatine smiled. " You as well, senator Amidala…or should I say Skywalker?"

Padmé gave a puzzled look.

" You know what I mean, Senator. You do too, don't you, lord Vader?"

" Yes, my master…I do." Vader said. Padmé looked at him. Who is he? How would he know I married Anakin!

Obi-Wan stared at Vader. Lord Vader? Where have I heard of that before? That's right!

FLASHBACK

(Jedi Temple)

Yoda and Obi-Wan watched the security tape of Anakin killing the Jedi younglings. Then, Palpatine came into the picture.

" Good…..good…you have done well, Lord Vader."

" Thank you, my master."

END FLASHBACK

That's where! " Padmé, this masked thing is Anakin!" Obi-Wan shouted. Vader looked in his direction.

" Say what?" Ron asked. Hermoine and Harry shrugged.

" No! That can't be!" Padmé cried.

" Oh, but it is, senator." Palpatine smirked. " And it looks like you brought friends…" He said, changing the subject. He looked at Harry, Ron and Hermoine.

Harry glared at Palpatine and his apprentice.

" I sense a tremor in the force, just by looking at you three." Palpatine said.

Vader approached the three. " That would explain everything I have been feeling for the past day and a half!"

…HoooPA….HoooPA…..HoooPA…..

Vader slowly looked at the teenagers and stopped when he got to Harry. " it is this one, my master."

" Ah! Good…..good. you have done well, my servant." Palpatine turned all of his attention to Harry. " so, you are a Jedi?"

Harry said nothing.

" You cannot hide it." The emperor spat.

Vader looked at Harry carefully, then raised his right hand. Harry (Anakin's) light saber flew away from Harry into Vader's hand.

" So…you are a Jedi." Vader said, instantly turning his attention on Obi-Wan. " Very clever of you, Obi-Wan! What was your goal? Are you attempting to make some form of army to attempt to overthrow the empire?"

" Annie, please stop!" Padmé pleaded. She finally worked up the courage to speak. " Look at yourself! Look at what you're doing! Can't you see its wrong? Can't you see what you've done: to our family…to me!"

" Padmé, cal down." Hermoine said.

" No-be quiet." Snapped Padmé. She turned back to Vader. " Can't you see what you've done to me? To yourself? You're trapped in that suit because you burned on Mustafar, because you provoked Obi-Wan, because you turned to the dark side….all because you wanted to save me! I told you that you were able to protect me from death just the way you were…but you wouldn't listen to me. Obi-Wan told me everything!"

" I don't want to hear anymore of that fool!"

" Hey!" Obi-Wan protested.

" You're doing it again!" Padmé said, she was calming down a bit. " let me help you…go back the way you were…I don't care if I can never see your face again…is just the Anakin I lost that I want back!" Vader turned away. " Is that what you wanted when you turned? To loose the only family you had left?"

….HoooPA……HoooPA….HoooPA….

" Senator, you are a member of the empire, seeing that you were a senator of the republic…" Palpatine said.

" You monster!" I trusted you… and all this time you were hypnotizing the senate for years. I knew something was wrong once you kept receiving power and never stopped the war. The Jedi knew it…I would never join your empire!"

" That goes for us, too!" Hermoine said suddenly. Vader turned to her.

" What are you three doing here, anyway?" The dark lord asked, approaching Hermoine.

" That's none of your business!"

" Don't provoke him, Hermoine…he's not the right man to mess with!" Obi-Wan warned.

" You're here to turn me from the dark side, aren't you?"

" I never sa-"

" It doesn't matter. I can sense it. I wouldn't count on your success. The odds are rarely in your favor."

" Anakin, you're a good person, why do this? Stop now! Please!"

" Padmé, your cries of pity mean nothing to me."

" Annie, your breaking my heart!" "

" So you refuse?" Palpatine asked.

"Your going down many to all paths I cannot follow, Anakin. I would never join you."

" So be it." Palpatine snarled. He slowly raised his hands upward towards Padmé. Then, sudden bursts of force lightning right at her. They quickly struck her, and she instantly fell to her knees, screaming in pain.

" Oh no!" Hermoine cried. She reached for her wand, but Ron saw her.

" 'Moine, what're you doing?"

" We can't just stand here! They're killing her!"

" There's nothing we can do!"

" Obi-Wan couldn't bear to look. He had already witnessed the end of Anakin. He couldn't bear to watch Padmé die.

" A-Anakin….please…help.. Annie!" Padmé cried. She couldn't hold up much longer. Vader just watched.

" No!" Harry shouted. He whipped out his wand. " ACIO LIGHT SABER!" His saber flew right from Vader's hand into his hand. Igniting it, he lunged for Palpatine.

" No, Harry, NO!" Obi-Wan shouted. Sighing, he used the force to get his own light saber from Vader, then joined the fight to save Harry's life.

Instead of Harry getting the emperor, he found himself face to face with a red Sith blade. Darth Vader! Crap! Harry thought. Then, Obi-Wan joined the fight.

" Now my chance. Hermoine thought. She yanked out her wand. " Impedimenta!"

Palpatine flew off his feet. The lightning stopped hitting Padmé. Ron and Hermoine ran over to Padmé. Then Ron blasted open the door and he and Hermoine helped Padmé to safety.

Obi-Wan and Harry were squaring off against Vader.

" You have learned much, young one…but not enough." Vader said.

" I don't care!" Harry shouted. Obi-Wan and I will defeat you."

" Likely chance… You have already lost. Give up now and I may spare you."

" Never!" Obi-Wan shouted. He and Harry tried attacking from different angles, but Vader was too strong and too fast.

" Master, I don't know how much more I can hold this off!" Harry whined.

Hermoine, Ron and Padmé swept thru the halls of the star destroyer, blasting every trooper they could find. Somehow, they found Threepio and R2.

" Miss. Padmé, Miss Padmé, are you alright?" Threepio asked, worried.

" She's not good." Ron said. " She's been fainting and all. Can you carry her?"

" I do believe so."

" Good. We have to get out of here and fast."

" What about Harry and Obi-Wan?" Ron asked.

" Of course them, too!" Hermoine sighed. " R2, find the ship."

" WeeeeOOO." He plugged himself into the computer. Then, he started beeping.

" R2 said that we are directly below the hanger bay."

" That's great!" Ron said. " Lets get Padmé to the ship."

" My counterpart also says that there are stormtroopers guarding the ship."

" I'm not afraid." Hermoine said boldly. " C'mon…lets go." She and Ron ran off, blasting all the stormtroopers that got in their way.

" Wait! Wait for me!" Threepio cried. He ran after them carefully while still holding Padmé. R2 rolled after him. " How typical, Artoo…no one waits for us droids!"

Updates soon. Review please and no flames.
