---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was morning now, Anakin saw the sun rising out of the corner of his eye. He got out of bed and looked down upon his sleeping wife. He Thought about what he had done, and the significance of his choice, " What...what if I was wrong? " Anakin thought to himself, and then he remembered what his old mentor had told him. He trusted in his master's higher wisdom, but he could feel the fear inside of himself. He shook the thoughts from his head and put on his robe, he walked out to the living room of his house, the sun glaring off of all the chrome-like furniture. He was lost deep in thought as his vid-screen opened up, and before him was Master Windu. " Anakin, we need you at the temple for a council meeting, that is all ". Anakin looked into his bedroom at his still sleeping wife, he walked to her and lightly kissed her cheek before running out to his ship.
Meanwhile, the other Jedi master's were being informed of the council meeting, as Mace walked through the temple to the council chambers. He sat down in his seat as he began to think to himself, " I cannot beleive we were so blind, how could something like that have slipped past us? ". Mace stopped and looked up to see Anakin walk into the room, taking his seat. The rest of the seats began to fill as the vidscreens showed more and more of the Jedi Masters appear, the last to arrive were Yoda and Obi-Wan. Mace started everything off, " Welcome, I thank you all for being here today, there is much to discuss about the Sith Lord, Chancellor Palpatine," the sound dimly rose with whispering here and there, Mace continued," We have already delt with the Sith Lord, and he is no longer a threat, although we lost several Jedi in the battle, in the end, we were able to defeat him. It was thanks to Anakin that this information was brought to light ". Mace looked to Anakin and nodded, as if to tell him it was his turn. Anakin began," Thank you master, I was informed of this by Palpatine himself, and he...", Anakin thought it better not to tell about what Palpatine promised him, his treacherous lies that nearly ended the Jedi.
Anakin looked to Yoda and said, " That is all that I have to report master ". Yoda then began his speech, " Troubling it is that a Sith Lord, right under our noses, has been. The Dark Side has clouded many things, our ability to foresee the future even perhaps. Learned we have, that it was Palpatine who was leading the Seperatists. But, Master Obi-Wan, destroyed the evil General Greivous, he has, and for that, thankful we all are. A discussion of the Galactic Senate there will be tomorrow, and attend, we all shall. " Yoda looked to Anakin and then he began again, " One more order of bussiness, have we, for Master Windu and I, spoken we have, and it has been decided that, for his honesty and dedication, Anakin, a Jedi Master shall become ". Anakin eyes widened in shock, Obi-Wan smlied at him and he and everyone else congratulated him.
After the council met, they had decided that since the war was now over, there would have to be a stop to the creation of clones, and that all Jedi should return to the temple. Yoda rose from his chair and began to walk to the clone commander whom was standing behind to him, he looked up at him and said," Leaving, we are, the war, over it now is". And with that Yoda continued on to his friend Tartful, and climbed up to his back for a ride back to his ship. Obi-Wan was on Mygeeto, looking down at the huge army of clones, he ran down to Commander Cody and said, " Cody, the war is over, it is time clean up the rest of the droids and head home ", and Cody let out a firm 'yes sir' as they both went to finish what remained of the droid army. The rest of the Jedi masters had begun to withdraw their troops after they had stopped the droid skirmishes on their planets, the droids would be all but wiped out by the end of the day.
Anakin walked out of the council chambers accompanied by Mace Windu, he said him, " Thank you Master, you will not regret this decision ". Mace looked to him and retorted, " I hope I will not Anakin, the council and I all thank you for revealing the Sith Lord to us. You have earned my trust Anakin, and the trust of the council, and you are now an equal to us, the youngest Jedi Master in history". They both stopped as he looked at Anakin, " When I fought Palpatine, I sensed much fear and anger in you Skywalker, is there something you're not telling us?". Anakin thought to himself, if Mace knew he would probably revoke his rank, so he decided it was a matter best left for a later time. He looked at Mace and said, " No Master, it was nothing...". Mace knew Anakin was lying, but to force him to talk would surely push him closer to the dark side, he would wait for the proper time to confront him about this problem. Mace simply nodded to Anakin and walked off, leaving him to think about what he had done. His mind was tearing him apart inside, until he heard the voice again," Anakin, I'm proud you have become a Master Anakin, but you should not hide the truth from your freinds. " And just as abruptly as it had come, the voice was gone again.
Anakin ran out to his ship and flew home as fast as he could, he walked into his room to see his still sleeping wife. Anakin neared her and whispered softly, " I'll never let anything harm you Padme...I promise, I'll protect you". Padme awoke as he finished, she looked up at him, stretching," Anakin, what are you doing awake so early?", Anakin had replied to her, " There was a council meeting, and...the council thought that I was ready to become. " He stopped, smiling at her, leaving her in apprehension, she rose up and looked at him smiling, " What?...What? Tell me Ani "! Anakin looked at her and said, " Well, they made me a Jedi Master on the Jedi council, that's all ". Padme screamed out as she jumped into his arms," Ani, that's great! I'm so happy for you, it's just what you wanted ". He looked down upon her and smiled, then the vidscreen on the counter opened up and Senator Bail Organa was there, " Senator Amidalla, there is something about the Chancellor...he, he's been killed by Jedi Master Windu, and Anakin was also there, I have spoken with the council and they said it was he who was the Sith Lord. We are to give a speech to the Galactic Senate tomorrow evening, I have already informed the other senators, and we shall see you tomorrow Senator ".
Padme looked up at Anakin, " Ani, is this true "? Anakin looked down at her and let out a firm yes. She sat back in her bed, thinking about it, then she broke the silence telling Anakin, " This is terrible...but...i suppose there was no other choice ". Anakin looked down as he heard Padme get out and walk to him, " Ani, are you alright? You weren't hurt were you"? Anakin settled her nerves by telling her he was fine, reassuring her. They stood in eachothers arms, talking about their life together...their future, their children. Anakin turned as the the vidscreen opened, Master Yoda and Windu told him to report for his new assignment. He let go of Padme and they bid eachother a farewell kiss.
