Summary: Alternate Episode Three
Pairing: A/P
The Chosen One SurvivesChapter One
Master Windu: You are on the council, but we do not grant you the rank of Master.
Anikin bowed to the Jedi Masters and turned to leave the council chambers with Obi wan when Master Yoda called to him " Young Skywalker, speak with you privately, I must." Anikin bowed and followed Yoda into the meditation room. Once seated Master Yoda turned to look at Anikin " As you may know, with child Senator Amidala is." Anikin nodded his head before answering " Yes I know, the Senator told me after obi-wan and I rescued the Chancellor." Yoda stared at him " Tell you who the father is, did she?" Yoda asked.
Anikin sighed, he knew that he would have to tell the Masters about his and Padme's relationship. He also knew that he was about the be expelled from the order.
Looking at the little green troll and leader of the Jedi Council Anikin replied " Master Yoda, I will have to leave the Jedi order soon." upon seeing Yoda's surprised look Anikin continued "Master Yoda, Padme and I have been married since the beginning of the Clone Wars we kept our marriage secret to do our duties as a Jedi and a Senator, I know that I don't deserve to be on the council and I know that I should be expelled, but I must ask that I be allowed to stay until the Sith Lord we are searching for has been found and destroyed." Yoda leaned on his walking stick meditating. All of a sudden a youngling ran into the room "Master Yoda Master Skywalker, we are under attack by the Clones, there are too many of them, what are we going to do?" Master Yoda turned and looked at Anikin "Gather and protect the younglings, you must, if attacked you are, send the younglings to Senator Padme" he told Anikin before leaving the room.
A few hours later
A few minutes after Anikin had gathered all twenty of the younglings and taken them to one of the meditation chambers one of the younglings had asked Anikin to tell them why he was so close to the Senator from Naboo. Anikin was just telling the younglings (all of whom were listening to his story with great interest.) about his secret wedding to Senator Padme when the sound of the Clones came down the hallway, telling all the younglings to hide quickly Anikin activated his lightsaber. No sooner had the last of the younglings hidden behind one of the chairs, then at least thirty Clone soldiers entered the room firing their blasters.
Unfortunately, the Clones had underestimated Anikin, and their mistake resulted in all of them being killed in just fifteen minutes.
As soon as the Clones were all dead on the floor Anikin received a holo-message from Yoda to evacuate the younglings and then come to the Chancellor's office. Anikin quickly took the younglings to the hanger bay and told the to get into the large evacuation ship and strap themselves in. Once the younglings were all strapped in Anikin took control of the ship and headed for the senators residential building telling them that they were going to see Senator Padme. The younglings all cheered at this piece of news. They were off to meet the 'Chosen Ones' wife.
Senator Padme's Apartment
Senator Padme Amidala Naberrie Skywalker anxiously paced around her apartment, from the balcony window she could see smoke coming from the Jedi temple, and according to R2D2 and C3PO (her astro droid and Anikin's protocol droid.) Anikin had returned to the temple a short while before the attack had occurred.
Just then R2 started to beep happily, turning back towards the window Padme was relieved to see one of the Jedi evacuation ships approaching the landing area outside her apartment. Running outside Padme was relieved to see Anikin getting off the ship ,as she hurried over and embraced him, she heard a couple of "ewe"s and quite a lot of giggling coming from the ship, Padme was surprised to see that all of the Jedi younglings following him. After bringing the younglings into the apartment and distracting them by introducing them to the droids, Anikin told Padme about Yoda's message and told her that the younglings had to stay here until it was safe to go back to the Jedi temple. A few minutes after Anikin left C3PO came into the room "Mistress Padme, I'm sorry to interrupt but it appears that Master Anikin was telling them about the relationship between you when the attack began, and the younglings wanted to know if you could tell them the rest of the story." Padme laughed and went over to where the younglings were.
Meanwhile at the Senate
Anikin reached the Senate building and found Obi-wan Master Windu, and Master Yoda waiting for him outside the Chancellor's office, seeing the worried expressions on their faces Anikin asked "Masters what has happened?." Obi-wan sighed, Anikin would not like the news that he was about to hear "Anikin, we have just discovered that Chancellor Palpatine is the Sith Lord that we has been hunting,the whole Jedi Order has been deceived, Palpatine has already killed four of the Jedi Masters, if he is to be stopped then we need your help."Obi-wan told him. Searching his feeling Anikin knew that it was the truth, the man who had always been a father-figure to him was indeed a Sith Lord.
When Anikin,Obi-wan, Master Windu, and Master Yoda entered the Chancellor's office they found Palpatine waiting for them with a red lightsaber in his hand. As Palpatine disarmed Master Windu, throw his lightsaber out of the window,and got ready to strike down the killing blow Master Windu shouted "Anikin, kill him,do what you were destined to do." but at the same time Palpatine yelled " Join me Anikin, Senator Padme will die in childbirth if you don't, it is the only way that you can save your wife from death." for a moment Anikin was torn between his two choices, but then he started to fight the Sith lord.
Master Windu and Obi-wan glanced at each other. So what Yoda had told them earlier was true.
After the attack on the Jedi Temple
Obi-wan and Master Windu had just started walking down the hallway to see if they could find any survivor's, but they stopped when the voice of Master Yoda called to them "Master Windu, Master Kenobi, speak with you I must." after following the little green troll into one of the council rooms Master Yoda began to speak "broken,the code is, married since the beginning of the war young Skywalker has been. And need flies to enter your mouths, you do not." Yoda finished with a smile, for Obi-wan and Master Windu were staring at Yoda with their mouths wide open, how could Anikin have been married for so long without any of them knowing about it?.
End Flashback
Meanwhile Anikin was beginning to win the battle going on between the lord of the Sith/Chancellor and himself, suddenly the dark lord of the Sith attacked Anikin with force lightning,and at the same time Anikin drove his lightsaber into the Sith lord's chest. Destroying the Sith once and for all. However the force lightning had taken it's toll making Anikin fall to the floor unconscious. The last thing Anikin saw before he blacked out was Obi-wan looking extremely angry and then shouting: WIFE? What do you mean 'Wife'?
After they had finished getting rid of the rest of the Clones, and then raced Anikin to the medic's in the temple, the remaining Jedi Padwans, Jedi Knights, and Masters all gathered together in the council chambers while the younglings were still in the care of Senator Padme.
The Jedi Masters fought back their laughter as Master Obi-wan Kenobi paced around the room ranting things like: "How could Anikin do this? Or, Does he want to be expelled from the order? Or, Why doesn't he ever listen to me? Or, What the blazes was he thinking? And, I swear, that Padwan of mine will be the end of me." that was it. The Jedi Masters cracked up laughing.
Once the laughter had subsided and Obi-wan had finished ranting and calmed down, the Jedi Masters started talking about whether or not they should change the Jedi Code. And who would be the one to inform Senator Padme of what had happened.
Back in Senator Padme's apartment
Senator Padme Amidala was bringing a tray of cookies and warm milk out to the Jedi younglings and had just set it down when C3PO came into the kitchen and told her "Mistress Padme, I hate to interrupt you, but Jedi Master Yoda wishes to speak with you." telling the younglings that she would be back shortly, Padme went into the sitting room to meet with Master Yoda.
When she entered the room Padme saw the leader of the Jedi council flouting next to the couch, knowing by the look on the Jedi Master's face that something was wrong the former Queen/Senator of Naboo asked what had happened, the little green troll sighed and told her "grave news I have for you Senator Padme, when go to arrest the lord of the Sith we did, we discovered that it was Chancellor Palpatine was the Sith lord that we had been looking for, tried to turn Anikin to the dark side he did." up until now Padme had been going pale while she was sitting across from Yoda now the Senator and former Queen of Naboo spoke "there is more to your story, isn't there Master Yoda?"she asked the Jedi Master, Yoda continued "Right you are Senator, instead of turning to the dark side Anikin fulfilled his destiny and destroyed the Sith, but as he died struck Anikin with force lightning the Sith did, in the medic's center in the Jedi temple your husband now is." Padme jumped to her feet instantly, however, before she could ask Yoda to take her there a voice from the other side of the door said "Do you think that Master Skywalker is going to die?"followed by another voice saying " Of course he won't, no one can beat Master Skywalker." Padme and Yoda smiled (the younglings must have been listening through the keyhole during their conversation.) as the Senator and the Jedi Master left the room they were proved right, the younglings were on the other side of the door trying to listen to the conversation between the Senator from Naboo and the head of the Jedi council.
The Jedi temple: In the medic's rooms
Once he regained consciousness Anikin Skywalker woke up in one of the medic's rooms, as he started to recall the battle in the Chancellor's office he remembered Palpatine telling him in front of three Jedi Masters that if Anikin did what the Jedi told him to do and killed him then Anikin would not be able to save his wife... hold on, the three Jedi Masters who were there included his master Obi-wan, as he remembered the look on his masters face Anikin thought " Obi-wan is really going to kill me this time." he was going to need a miracle if he wanted to live throughout the encounter with Obi-wan. Suddenly Anikin could hear voices and then he heard someone running down the hallway. Less then half a minute later Padme burst into the room and hurried over to him before she kissed him on the lips.
About five minutes afterwards Master Yoda entered the room to speak with them.
When Anikin, Padme, and Jedi Master Yoda had all sat down in one of the meditation chambers Yoda turned to Anikin and told him " Destroyed the Sith you have Anikin, turned when the Sith tried to use your Attachment to Senator Padme against you, you did not, owe you our lives and our thanks, we do." Anikin looked up and faced the head of the Jedi council and answered " I know that the war has ended now, but why are you thanking me? I broke the Jedi Code, Haven't I been expelled from the order?" Master Yoda chuckled before he continued "Because of your actions, revised,the Code has been, Expelled from the order, you are not. On the council as a Jedi Master, you now are." Anikin smiled with joy that he was not expelled, when he remembered how angry Obi-wan had looked when the lord of the Sith had revealed that Anikin was married, turning back to Master Yoda Anikin asked " forgive me Master Yoda, but what does Obi-wan think about the code being revised? Is he angry with me?" Master Yoda smiled as he replied "Upon finding out that you have been secretly married for the past three years, yes angry he was. Upon discovering that all Jedi are now able to marry and have relationships, no." Anikin laughed, during their marriage Padme had once told him that her two handmaidens ( Sabe in particular.) found his Master Obi-wan quite handsome. Anikin looked forward to letting Sabe know that all of the Jedi were now allowed to have relationships.
A few minutes before Anikin and Padme left the temple the Youngest Jedi Master asked the head of the council if (once their child was born.) he and Padme could make their marriage public by having a official ceremony at the temple. Yoda inwardly smiled as soon as the younglings heard about this then Anikin was going to have ALL of the younglings following him around asking all sorts of questions.
At the Jedi council chambers
After hearing what Anikin had suggested, the Jedi Masters had talked amongst themselves and decided that having the public wedding of a Jedi here at the temple might not be a bad idea since the Jedi code had just been revised.
When the council session was over Anikin went over to Obi-wan to talk to him and ask him what he thought about the code being revised. After their conversation had ended Obi-wan and Anikin walked out of the temple, suddenly Obi-wan asked "you said earlier that one of Padme's handmaidens thought that I'm handsome, that handmaiden wouldn't happen to be Sabe would it?" Anikin laughed and answered " yes, Sabe is the one that I was talking about." Obi-wan smiled, during the time that they had been stranded on Tattooine he had developed a crush on Sabe but his commitment to the Jedi order had kept him from telling her, however, Obi-wan was brought back to the present by his former Padwan asking " Master, you said earlier that you were insulted that I hadn't invited you when Padme and I got married in secret, so would you mind being the best man?" Obi-wan laughed before answering " nothing would please me more."
Two days later Padme gave birth to a set of fraternal twins, Luke and Leia Skywalker. The younglings went hyperactive when they heard this news.
A few months later
Jedi Master Anikin Skywalker stood at one end of the entrance hall of the Jedi temple, his former master Obi-wan stood next to him, behind them stood the rest of the Jedi Masters, on both sides of the hallway stood the younglings, Padwans, Jedi knights, all Padme's friends from the Senate, and (unfortunately.) reporters from the holonet and journalists for the Paper (the younglings had come up with some very amusing tricks in order to try and keep them out but they had not succeeded.) a few minutes later Padme entered the temple followed by her two handmaidens (Sabe and Dorme.) and started her walk down the aisle/hallway towards Anikin.
After saying their vows Anikin and Padme kissed while the Jedi (the younglings in particular.) and the Senators cheered.
Next Chapter: The holonet announces the wedding at the Jedi temple, and Anikin and Padme go to visit the Naberrie's house with Luke and Leia.
