Ok I finally get to post this chapter, which techical is Chapter 12 part 2.
A reminder all the Italics are either Anakin's voice or what he is experiencing in the coma.
Enjoy!
"Well. These twins must have their father's genes for flying. I heard nothing but awful tales of being pregnant and space travel. So far they have been good, except for the occasional Jedi move. Though I'm wondering now, if they are just quarreling with each other."Padme said as she entered the main room.
"Have a good sleep. You slept for four hours." Cora asked
"Four Hours! Cora, you were supposed to wake me up two hours ago."Padme, sitting down at the table.
"Sorry, you were sleeping so soundly."Cora laughing
Padme just rolled her eyes and each for Anakin's files. His Jedi's files were release to Obi-Wan, who wasted no time handing them over to her.
"Thought you might like to have something to read. Guaranteed Anakin never told about these adventures."Obi-Wan hinted with a glint in his eyes. "Oh course, the records never mention my sleepless nights either."
"Ani you are a bad boy. In the name of the Gods, what were you thinking! . Jumping off a bridge at age 13."Padme thought, trying not to laugh to hard. "Hmm had a bit of trouble keeping him in the Temple. Well, you knew he had some experience some kind of the wild life. More with female kind. He acted innocent around you at first, But first night as a married couple. Oh well, you were pleased and - Oh well."Padme breaking into a smile.
She was broken away from her memory by a beep and chirp. "Yes Artoo?. Yes you can leave the cabin. But don't by Anakin's cabin. I know, I know. Don't worry, he'll be fine." Padme said, watching Artoo hurrying out the door.
"Ah some peace, he has been quarrelsome lately."C-3PO chimed in. "Along with me feeling so helpless these past couple days."
"Don't worry C-3PO. We'll be in Naboo in a couple hours. Those nieces and a nephew of mine, will keep you busy. Very busy." Padme answered.
"That's right. Master has been adding programs to my database. All dealing with children."C-3PO remarked. "Ah I get to use them then."
"Cora. I'm going to Anakin for a while. C-3PO, you want to come along or do you want to stay here?"
" Stay here. I'm no use to my Master right now."
"Ok and stop worrying. Like I said, soon you'll be busy the threesome. Good practice when the twins come." Padme getting up and gathering Anakin's files. "Cora, if you need me, sends for me. And play a game of Hold Out with C-3PO."
Who am I?
Just a form, walking or standing through greyness. There are sounds but I have lost language. Reaching out to the sound.
"Anakin? What is it? . Obi-Wan asked, breaking out his mediation. Then noting more movement. Reaching over, Obi-Wan touches Anakin's arm. "Anakin, you going be all right now."
What am I?
Everything
is flat.
Is
this a straight path I'm walking or a circle?
Who am I?
One
step and I fall.
Back
landing on something hard.
If
I'm breathing, the breath is force out.
"Ow oh" then Anakin shifted
"Anakin! What is wrong?" Obi-Wan, jumping up now. Noticing that Anakin seem to be in pain. Obi-Wan placed his hand on his forehead. "Easy Anakin. Muxa? Jeral?
Can you scan Anakin? He seems to be in pain."
"Oh that's not good." Jeral grabbing the scanner. "Hmm, nothing is showing. The restraints could be bothering him."
"Well let's take them off for awhile. We'll put them back on when he moved." Obi-Wan suggested.
"What's wrong? Padme, as she entered the room.
"Anakin is not liking his restraints this hour."Obi-Wan said, hoping to pacified Padme.
"Does he need them? I rather not see him in restraints. He can't be that bad."
"No Milady, I'll take them off."Jeral replied.
"Obi-Wan, why don't you take a rest. I'll sit with him for the rest of the trip."Padme taking his place.
"Good idea. Call Jeral or Muxa if there is a problem"
Padme moved her chair closer to Anakin, one hand holding his hand. The other reading his Jedi files. Which how she spent the next couple hours. Later Obi-Wan brought her some lunch. Together they share. What Anakin's life has been and what it should be.
Noise, what is it?. Where? Walk towards it. Somewhere, there's the answer. But what's the question?.
Who am I?
"Let's go"
A small group of Jedi started for the Chancellor's office. This being Coruscant, nobody really pays attention. Only one wasn't a Jedi. The real Chancellor was back into his borrow robes. However this time, it was Anakin's.
"Ah Chancellor, getting dressed up as a Jedi again. Here I thought you would like this one. It's Anakin. "Agen helping him put it on.
"Thank You."
"Ok we are here" Mace, looking around. "Chancellor you are to stay here for now. Understand"
"Yes I understand. I'll wait here under this tree for the fireworks or a falling head."
Mace and the rest of the group walked away. Only leaving two other Jedi to protect the Chancellor. Nothing more was said as they enter the building. Each one preparing for the fight ahead.
While on the elevator, the universe being the universe. Change the fate of all. Seems the Jedi' were not the only ones wanting the Chancellor dead. A small group planned out an attack months ago. Today was their day not the Jedi's. And with a click of the signaler. History was blown into another course.
"What in the name of the Force was that!"Mace screamed out. Falling to the floor, landing on Shaak-Ti. At the same time, hitting his head on the wall.
"Get the doors open. Quick everybody out now."
"Soon as Master Windu gets off of me."Shaak-Ti mumbles as she waited for Mace to move.
"He out cold."Agen, grabbing Mace and pulling him off."Guess his head isn't that hard after all."
"No that's his heart."Plo counted back. "Come on let's get up there and make sure he is dead. The explosions happen up there. Just leave Mace here."
By the time rest of the Jedi's got there. The Sith Lord was half dead, caught under his overturn desk. Agen without thought. Finished the Sith Lord off with one sweep of his blade.
"That was for Anakin" He said quietly,
"Milady, you must return to your cabin immediately." Caslari,one the accompanying Jedi, ordered her.
"Why?"
"Please Milady, just return to your cabin."Caslari asked again. Looking at Obi-Wan for help,
"Padme. Go with Caslari now!"Obi-Wan getting up and helping her up.
Padme didn't say another word and left. Then Aurole walked in with lightsaber in hand. Giving Obi-Wan a message.
"The Chancellor was the Sith Lord!" Obi-Wan collapsing into his chair. "In the name of the Force what's next. Anakin! He was after you. How close Anakin?" Obi-Wan read more of the message."This gets even more crazy beyond belief. Sith Lord was impersonating the Chancellor. The real Palpatine is back in power. He knows what has happen to Anakin. Master Yoda says he is heartbroken over this. I know what he going through."Obi-Wan said looking at Anakin. "How close Anakin. Now I wondering what was the real reason for your gamble. Was it a gamble like you said or a suicide attempted to get out?"
"What make this more tragic. Why couldn't this happen a couple days ago?" Caslari remarked.
"Yes and No. Anakin might have been in th office too. Until this, quiets down. Anakin is to be guarded. Oh damn, don't have my lightsaber on me."Obi-Wan cursed.
"I have it."Muxa handing it to him."Thought you might need it."
"Thank you. I left it off for Padme's sake. She seems more relax when I have it off. Expecting mothers and lightsaber don't mix."Obi-Wan getting up and hooking the lightsaber onto his belt. "Now if you excused me. I have to tell Padme what happened."
"Milady, what's going on."Cora asked
"I have no idea. Where's Artoo?"Padme sitting down on the couch. "Artoo? Here he comes. Artoo, stay in the cabin now."
"Can I get you anything Mistress?" C-3PO inquired. "Oh don't you start. You craze droid."
"Nothing. Thank You. Artoo, go to my room and stay there. C-3PO, don't say it!" Padme giving him a look.
Cora just started to laugh.
"Yes you can laugh. The Skywalker's Home will not be a quiet home. Two quarrelsome droids. A set of twins and Anakin. Nope it will be noisy"
"Landing in one hour."Pilot said over the intercom.
Then the door chimed
"Oh good! It's Obi-Wan, who will tell us what is going." Padme with a touch of sarcasm in her voice.
"If I told you, would believe me."He said sitting down beside her.
Padme just gave Obi-Wan one her "Don't start" looks
"Save that look for Anakin when he wakes up. Well it turns out that our Sith Lord was a changeling too. So a year ago, he kidnaped the Palpatine and dumped him off on some planet. Then the Sith Lord took over and also he was behind the Clone wars too, somehow. It confusing. However, back to our story. The real Palpatine somehow managed to get off his prison a month ago and was return to the Jedi Temple two days ago. Well today a group of Master Jedi's went over to the Chancellor's office to deal with the Sith Lord. On the way up, a couple bombs went off., injuring him. By the time the Jedi's got there, he was half dead. One the Jedi, shall we said- ended his reign with a slash of a lightsaber. Poor Mace, heard he got knocked out" Obi-Wan trying not to laugh when he said that.
"Palpatine, is he Ok."Padme asked, staring straight ahead.
"He fine, just heartbroken over Anakin. He was in the hanger when we left. Master Yoda said he was in tears too. Also, visited Anakin twice. In addition he knew about your relationship with Anakin."
"I never told him. He might have suspected it. He knew that Anakin and I were close. But I never told about the marriage."
"Well it's over now. Granted it would have been more wonderful if this happened a few days earlier. But like I said before. Anakin might have been with Chancellor."Obi-Wan taking a much needed deep breath.
"Oh Ani" Padme realizing how close Anakin could have been killed again. "I want Anakin to leave the Jedi order now. Sorry Obi-Wan."
"I understand and I agree with you. Anakin must leave the order now." He said getting up to leave. "I'm going back to Anakin now."
"I'll go too."
"No you stay here." Obi-Wan stopping her. "Please Padme."
Padme sat back on the couch. "Ok" she said. Realizing that Anakin was going be restrained again. No, she didn't like them. Some reason they bother her. Maybe they remind her of him being a slave again. She standing there, feeling so helpless for she was a Queen of Naboo and couldn't help him at all.
"Thank You Padme.
As Obi-Wan left the room, he spoke to Captain Typho. "Captain Typho, Do me a big favor. Keep Padme in her cabin. We are going have to put restraint on Anakin. And they bother her a bit. Well it bothers me I have to put them back on."
"No problem. I'll just quietly lock her door." He said. Punching in some numbers.
"15 microns to landing."
Obi-Wan quickly headed back to Anakin's room.
"Ok you guys ready" he said to Muxa and Jeral.
"Easy Anakin." When Obi-Wan realizing the ship was heading down.
I'm
slipping again or falling.
No,
I must fight this.
"No Anakin. It's ok." Muxa grabbing his arm.
Something
grabs your arm,
in
the greyness. You see it 's black
No!
Not again.
"Anakin, calm down. If you can hear me."Obi-Wan fitting the last restraints.
Give
in, let the blackness take you
Enough.
"He quieting down now." Jeral noticed as the ship docked, slightly rocking the room.
Obi-Wan didn't say anything, as he reached into the Force. There, on the edge, was Anakin.
But
you sense-
in
the small way,
Sadness.
"Lets get him off and get him to the center fast. I don't like the state he is in."Obi-Wan getting out the way.
Then all the troubles of the past couple day -sort of lifted
Finally Anakin was back on Naboo and the team from Nasur center were waiting for him.
