Chapter 4
Anakin realized that he somehow was not in the place he was. He heard a new-yet familiar voice.
It's good to see you again, Anakin.
Anakin's eyes opened with a surprise, and his mouth gapped open, "Qui-Gon!"
Qui-Gon nodded.
"But how?" Anakin asked.
Qui-Gon smiled, "This is a location that only the departed Jedi and the chosen one can enter. Here you will receive your final training. One thing to note is that time does not exist here. So when you return it will be like you just left, even if you were to stay here for 50 years."
Anakin had to ask, "What are all the images I am seeing around this place?"
Qui-Gon replied, "These images represent possibilities of what might have been. You can't see what could happen by choices that you will make soon, but you can see possibilities of what could have been if you decided differently. For example… Here is one of what could have been had you fought Obi-Wan back on Mustafar."
The image showed Anakin and Obi-Wan in a heated battle that went on for hours on the volcanic planet. At the end Anakin tried to do a stunt of jumping over his old master and his legs and arm were cut off and he burned violently. Then he saw himself put in a black suit and told that Padme was dead. Then he saw a flood of images that showed him taking over worlds and killing people for the Empire. He then saw himself fighting his son who in the image was maybe 18-20. Then he saw that the Empower was killing his son and he himself saved his son and returned back to the light. But then he died.
Anakin couldn't believe what he saw. In this world he believed his son was dead along with his wife, only to discover that his son lived. He then tried to turn him to the dark side, only to be turned back and defeated the Emperor.
"Master, Anakin replied, "I need to destroy that monster, then after that I will join you in this world. I cannot live with everything that I have done."
"Qui-Gon, replied, "I understand what pain it must be for you to have killed so many innocents, but keep in mind that it was Vader, not Anakin who did this. And the fact that you have returned away from the dark side proves that my initial feelings on you were true, you are the chosen one. I believe after you carry out the destiny of who you are and destroy the Sith, you should start a new Jedi order one that is not as corrupt. You should be the head of it, and Obi-Wan and Yoda should also be on it too."
Would they allow him is all he thought, but he didn't know if he deserved it, what Anakin felt he deserved was death. "Master what is the final ability I need to learn?"
Qui-Gon smiled, "You have already learned it by being here. You will use it as you battle your enemy."
Anakin faded back into the world he left which to him seemed like an eternity he had spent here.
