Chapter 7
Anakin was flying the ship through hyperspace. He kind of wished that He could have either Yoda, or Obi-Wan up here with him, not in his Cargo hold. He had to admit that he was pretty nervous about what he was planning on doing. He also hoped that the dark side would not seduce him again.
"Anakin you will not be alone ever on this!"
"He's right." Came two familiar voices. Sitting next to him was none other than Qui-Gon and Mace Windu.
Anakin was reminded of what he did days before. "Master Windu, forgive me for what I did, because of me you are now dead."
Mace nodded, but said, "Anakin, I take most of the blame for that. I never trusted you and was jealous of you. You had memories that I could only wish for, of your mom and of a life prior to the Jedi Order. Don't get me wrong, I never regretted being a Jedi, I just never realized until you showed up and began training what you had that I didn't. I also was hoping to make sure the prophecy was not true and wanted to take down the Sith myself. So if anyone is to blame it would be me."
Anakin shook his head, "I went along with the Sith though."
Just then Qui-Gon spoke, "That is all in the past, right now Ani, you should keep your focus on here and now."
Anakin said, "But shouldn't I also be mindful of the future?"
Qui-Gon remembered that he had a similar conversation with Obi-Wan years ago and smiled. "But not at the expense of the situation. Right now you have a mission to obtain to and a destiny to fulfill."
Anakin nodded and cut into the sub-light engines. "I just hope the force is on our side, because if this fails, then the Rebellion will not be around later to win."
Master Windu nodded, "The Jedi order has faith in you. It has forgiven you for everything you did, because it is not you who did it, it was Vader who did it. We are proud of you and know you will meet our expectations."
Qui-Gon also added, "You never let me down, and you will do fine to fulfill your destiny. In order to beat the Sith, you had to join them for a while. And now you know what you must do."
They both vanished and Anakin received an incoming transmission:
"We have you on our screen now, please identify!"
