Ok Good news a new chapter - Bad news I'm still rewriting Chapter 24 . Actually I was hoping to keep Chapter 23 as one chapter. But it got too long for FanFiction. (Grr) Plus I decide to add another scene to it. So I split the chapter in half. Soon as I'm done with it I'll post it. Half of it is already type up.

Now I kinda twisted and threw out some the Star Wars Canon on the Force So you have complaints. I don't want to hear about it.

Storyteller Person -Aankin's Girl - Kal's Girl & crematorian. Thank You for your patience with this story. Yes the last chapter was a sad one. But sometime you have to have some saddness before you can enjoy the happiness.

If you are reading this chapter first and haven't read anything before. Go back and read Chapter 21. Or this won't make any sense.

All the italics are either Anakin's voice or what he is experiencing

One more thing. I got the idea for this story from a Gun& Roses song. It's call Coma from the Use Your Illusion I cd. Now there a verse that fits perfectly of what Anakin has been going through these past months. Now with this chapter.

Please understand me
I'm climbin' through the wreckage
of all my twisted dreams
But this cheap investigation just can't
stifle all my screams.
and I'm waitin' at the crossroads
Waiting for you
Waiting for you
Where are you ?

Enjoy!
But the fight was stopped, when
a curtain of Lethera was dropped.

However,
all curtains must rise again.

"The effects of the Lethera should be wearing off now, That should have stopped all the convulsions he has been having. Lethera was my last resort. Pretty much cut down all brain activity. So last night and part of this morning he did some resting. But I can't keep him on it. It will only make his coma worse in long run." K'amott reported.

I hope so too. Lets have a quiet day Anakin." Obi-Wan asked. "The Masters are coming today."

So the curtain rises again
and the opponents remember
the last scene.

Your face

It had your face

Why?

In a moment
you loosen your grip
and with that, it
push you away
Then speaks to you.

What? Don't recognize yourself Anakin Skywalker? I'm that part of you, who die wanted to die that night. Yes, deep down in that black soul of yours. You really wanted to die. I'm the one, who's lying in that bed, dying now. Give up Anakin. You did it once. So let's end this, please.

You take a step back. "No"

Anakin, you are already dead. You die Ani-boy. You gave up in the Healer's Quarters and your heart stopped. Yes, it was the end of Jedi Anakin Skywalker. Oh course, the Healer there, couldn't accept that. So they got that heart of yours started again. But what for? You have given up on your life.

No!

Don't try to runaway, not very Jedi of you to do. Oh that's right. You wanted out of the Order. Guess you couldn't hack being "The Chosen One" Ah not very Jedi of you to cancel out your pain with the Peyhol too. Ah I bet you wish you had some that, right now. Or anything you tried, the Anginal, the Death Sticks. Yes whoever heard of a Peyhol addictive Jedi. That's a first.

As blackness spoke.
You vainly tried
to remember anything
Of your life.

So Anakin Skywalker, are you going admit defeat and die.

Never!

with that word
Again, you attack
the blackness.

Slamming it down
on the ground. Hitting it
with all your fury

Fight Anakin, only going tired your self out. Then I'll take you and no one will mourn for you. They'll be happy that you are dead and no longer suffering.

You respond
with a hard punch.
then another.
No, you're not
going to give up.
Something –

Ok. I let you have it easy, Anakin. You want to fight. Let's fight.

"Convulsions again? I need 400cq of Rozacpoz. K'amott ordered again. "Obi-Wan, where is those Jedi Masters. I'm out of ideas right now."

"They are their way. They should be here in a couple hours."Obi-Wan answered, holding down Anakin thrashing form. "Sorry."

Hopefully this will help. His brain activity is off the scale right now. K'amott remarked. "I can't give him the Lethera, not in this state. Well, the Rozacpoz seems to be working now. Why don't you take a rest?"

"Would love too. But I promise Padme I would stay with him."

"I'm here again. Is it alright for me to come in? Sabe asked. "If I can handle Padme, I can handle her Jedi lover.'

"Yes you come in now. " Obi-Wan, ignoring the Jedi lover remark. "How's Padme doing?"

"Holding up. She resting now or that's what she told her mom." Sabe taking Obi-Wan's place. After giving him a good shove.

"She needs rest. I need rest. Need anything, call me" he said stretching out his back. "I'll be in his room"

"Well you just go!"

The fight goes on
or now, the battle.
Keep fighting

ignoring the slips
of tiredness, you are feeling.

Ah you are finally weakening. Yes! I will win. You will lose. As it was plan Anakin. Isn't that what you planned that morning? . Death.

No, taking both feet
and knocking the blackness down
No! Never! . Then –

You remember
everything. That was forgotten.

Remembering that day.
Standing on the veranda
making that decision.
Standing on that balcony
swallowing the Galeriana.
You remember.

No! I didn't want to die.
I wanted to live. I just
wanted to end the pain.
as you step closer
to the smirking blackness.

But Yes

I did give up there.
But I want my life back.
So you're going die
instead, Nice knowing you.

With that, you reach
deep down inside you.
Pulling at all your strength.
You kill the blackness

You kill the blackness.

Then fall down to the grey ground.

The battle was won.
You claim your prize.

your Life

First you must
rest.

"He resting in there." the nurse said, pointing at the door.

"Thank You" Mace said.

"Hmm. No need this. Sick Jedi. No No." Yoda spoked "Up, here, we here."

"Good Afternoon Master Yoda, Master Windu and Healer Naporta. You are here finally. It has been a tough couple days. Anakin has really taken a turn for the worse,"

"Turn for the good, not for the worse. He's hiding. Where's Anakin? . Let's see."Yoda replied. "Away. Lead."

Master Yoda and I talk about Anakin's condition. We agreed that Master Yoda is going tried to get Anakin to move more into the Force instead the edge of it. It will help him to recover more quickly. It's only done in extreme circumstances." Mace said.

"Yes and I'm here in case Yoda fails. Nawegor Fever was not the best thing for him to have. Can't always rely on the Force to solve everything. Not with this case. Don't give me that look Master Yoda. We've been through this before."Naporta, glaring at Mace and Yoda.

"I'll stay out this one."Obi-Wan thought as he lead them to Anakin. Also told them what has happen since he left them.

"Miss the Temple now."Mace asked, after hearing about his adventures with Padme's nieces and nephew.

"Actually no, I don't miss it. Ok he is in here. Sabe, can you step outside for a bit."

Sabe looked at her watch. "Actually I have to go home now. He has quieted down all the sudden. Enjoy your rest. ?"

"Yes Thank you. Hope to see you again." he said. Giving her a hug as Mace looked at him strangely.

Yoda stood before Anakin, reaching out into the Force. He barely sensed him there. "Not Good." he sighed.

"Must be, better be. Hiding. Hiding. Alone!" Yoda pointing at the door.

"Hold it, let me finish putting these on him. I need to monitor him. Any signs of distress or one heartbeat out of tuned. You'll have to stop. Don't give me that look! Master Yoda." Naporta, as she places a few monitors on him. "Ok he is ready" Then she followed Mace and Obi-Wan out the door.

"How many times do I have to explain to you two. Anakin is suffering from Galeriana poisoning. Until that totals leaves, he is still seriously ill. Obi-Wan, those two drove me crazy during the trip, I understand what Master Yoda is doing but he doesn't my concerns. Oh let me monitor Anakin now." Naporta sitting herself down in a chair.

"Don't say it"Mace whispered to Obi-Wan, when he saw Obi-Wan was trying to stifle a laugh.

"Anakin, no good. Too old for games. You and Me!" Yoda mumbled. reaching more into the Force. He tried to find him. "Ah very good, Ah Grrr!"

There on the edge
lay Anakin.

"HeHehe. Anakin lost. I won." Yoda cried. "Gotcha Ya!" touching Anakin now.

Yoda sensed tiredness and lots of confusion in him. But he was still alive. He reached

more into the Force. Still Anakin's future was cloudy by uncertainty.

Something nudges you
Eyes play tricks on you.
You're not in the greyness.
Somewhere, call here.
There is no green either.
At least to you, in this confusion.
So with a thought, you tried
to toss it away with something.
But it stood its ground.
Then a feeling of unsteadiness.
Everything sliding around.
You feel weak and close
your eyes. Then a feeling
of warmth, covers your body.

"Now. No Anakin here. Better place for young Jedi. Yes. Yes here." Yoda called out to Anakin, getting him to move. "Ah bad place, good place. Ok you'll tried that. Master Yoda, need not to be toss. Stay here. Coma - tomorrow, the better time. Today - rest."

"Ah Master Yoda. We need to talk about Anakin now." Qui-Gon, stepping out the shadows.
