Broken , Chapter 4
.
Who was Jedi Master and member of the the High Council, Anakin Skywalker?
.
…. the chosen one who fulfilled his destiny by the kill of long wanted Sith Lord Sidius…
.
Anakin didn't tell Padme about his dream, he thought it was just a one-time event. Everyone has a nightmare every now and then.
It cannot stay with a dream, thought Palpatine, he must be really plagued by it. Through the Force he sent Anakin fear of losing his wife and child. It was so bad that he thought of confiding in Obi-Wan. If he did, he would likely have to leave the Jedis and Padmé could no longer serve as a senator.
Anakin went through the same dream every night, he woke up drenched in sweat every and could not calm down for a long time. He didn't always sleep with Padmé, she needed more space and had been sleeping very restlessly for a long time.
Count Doku and Grievous, the heads of the Separatists were dead, but the galaxy was not yet completely pacified, so there will still be operations and missions. Before going on the next mission, Anakin spent as much time as possible with Padmé. She had been very nervous and irritable for a long time and now with this hormonal up and down, it was terrible. It was almost impossible to talk to her, but Anakin had to make her feel like he was there for her when he was on Coruscant. He was her husband.
One evening Palpatine invited him to go to the opera with him. This was lost time for Anakin, but he couldn't avoid the invitation. As always, Palpatine sat in his Chancellor's logue, comfortably, with an empty seat next to him for Anakin.
"Anakin my boy, nice to see you again. You don't look good Are these the aftermath of the war or is something else tormenting you? "
"I haven't been sleeping well lately. I have nightmares. "
"Some kind of nightmares?"
"It's actually always the same dream. I dream that a person close to me dies. "
"Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?"
"No."
Palpatine told him the story about Darth Plagueis, not the whole story, of course. He didn't tell him that he was the apprentice who killed Darth Plagueis in the sleep. Anakin was so tormented by the dreams, everything was fine with him, he wanted to save Padme and the child. Palpatine thought he would have him soon, but did not want to reveal himself yet, especially not in a public place.
Anakin thought about it and it struck him as suspicious how Palpatine knew so much about the Sith, much more than he could find in the archives in his Jedi training about the Sith. Jedi history and eternal enmity with the Siths was taught. None of this was in the textbooks. He went into the Temple and went straight to the Jedi library. Master Jocasta Nu has already packed her bags and was just about to leave the rooms when Anakin came. She wasn't thrilled to leave him alone in the library, but then she did. She showed him in which department the holos are, which could help him in the search. Anakin stayed in the library the whole night. Early in the morning he went to Padmé and lay down on the bed next to her. He held her round belly and cried. Should he let that lose?
Padmé slept a bit longer and he was tired. Both woke up around noon. They showered and went to the canteen. That morning Padme was very quiet and he was already worried. He couldn't hug and comfort her, he had to keep the distance, it was difficult.
He decided to go to Grand Master Yoda. He didn't want to tell him everything, but he had to say something. He confessed that he had nightmares about the death of someone close to him, that he was afraid of losing that person. Yoda was as philosophical as ever in the answer, telling him:
"Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering. "
Nothing but truth in these words ... as he will find out later, but it didn't help at the moment.
He decided to go to Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan sat alone and scoured his DataPads.
"Take place, Anakin. How can I help you?"
"I don't know if I can be helped, but I must talk to someone."
"I hear."
"I am plagued by nightmares, every night I have the same dream in which someone close to me dies."
"Padme, isn't it."
Anakin said nothing.
"Go on. If I ask you something and you don't answer, then it is a yes and I don't know anything about it. "
"It is also the child that dies."
"I know she is pregnant. Is that your baby?"
Anakin said nothing.
"Keep telling."
"I was with Master Yoda, he told me to let go. Obi-Wan, I can't. I talked to Palpatine yesterday, it was a strange conversation. I didn't tell him anything specific, but he knew somehow why I was so depressed. Then he told me a story about Darth Plagueis, a powerful Sith Lord who was killed in the sleep by his apprentice. This Darth Plagueis was so powerful that he could create and save lives. I asked him if these skills can be learned and he said, not from a Jedi. Master, I was close to telling him, asking him if the Siths can do that. "
"Anakin, I am no longer your Master."
"Force of habit. I spent the whole last night in the library, I didn't find anything about that Darth Plagueis and you know what isn't in our library, that doesn't exist. Why does he know so much about a Sith Lord? "
"Is correct. That is highly suspicious. "
"And there is one more thing I have to tell you, Master. When we went to free Palpatine, you were thrown against the stage by the Count Doku and passed out. I fought against the him alone and I managed to disarm him. He fell on to knees in front of me and Palpatine ordered me to kill him, even though I should have arrested him. I couldn't defend myself against the order from Palpatine, he had me under his control at the moment. I killed Doku. "
"Oh Anakin, you didn't tell me that."
"And I kept something else from you. When we had to leave the room quickly, he ordered me to leave you lying, to leave you to your fate on the ship, but something in me was stronger and I did not obey this order. "
"Thank you Anakin, but this is something we must act against now. I've suspected for a long time that something is wrong with him, that he could be a Sith, I would never have dreamed. We have to report it to the High Council. Don't worry about Padmé, these are just dreams that pass. "
"You told me that too when I had such nightmares about my mother. She was almost killed by the Tasken robbers. "
"OK. how is this dream expressed? "
"Nothing specific, I see Padmé holding a dead child and then she falls over too."
"I don't know what to advise you. Bring her to Naboo, there she will have peace and first-class care. "
"Yes, she said she wants to go to Naboo."
Anakin and Obi-Wann went to the High Council and submitted the story of his conversation with Palpatine. The Jedi Council had to deliberate first. Anakin didn't expect the answer right away and went to Padmé to take her to Naboo.
That was not okay with Padmé either, although she herself had expressed a wish to go to Naboo.
"I can only leave in a few days, I have to go to Senate and hand over the work to the representation."
After three days Anakin had brought her things to the Naboo cruiser, one Jedi Knight got on and they prepared for the start. Padmé assumed that the Jedi would stay with her on Naboo. Anakin would not stay with her, he would leave her alone again. He was no longer her husband. She swore to herself that she would end this unbearable situation as soon as the Nute Gunray was caught.
Anakin returned to Coruscant to take up the decision of the High Council. The majority decided that a trap should be set for the Palpatine.
Anakin should say to him that he absolutely has to learn these skills in order to save someone he loves. Many Masters and Knights will turn off the chancellor's guard and be ready to face Palpatine.
The problem was, the Palpatine was gone. The search began.
Anakin went on a mission again with Obi-Wan, find Palpatine.
At first the known systems were searched without any result. That took time, almost three months.
They came back to Coruscan to develop a new strategy with High Council.
In the meantime Palpatine was back. He sought out the Nute Gunray aud Mustafar to give him further instructions ... To rekindle the war and first kidnap and then kill Senator Amidala.
The time had finally come, the Jedis were ready, the strategy was defined in great detail, everyone had to strictly adhere to their task and position. That morning Anakin went to the Senate and went to the Palpatine.
"Good morning Excellence"
"Anakin my boy, nice to see you again. What can I do for you? You look even worse than I saw you the last time. "
"Yes, Excellence. I am in agony and need your help. "
"Gladly my boy. Tell me how I can help. "
"I can't get the story of Darth Plagueis out of my head and the opportunity to learn the ability to save someone from death."
"Ah yes ... your wife, wasn't."
Anakin was silent, didn't want to ask how he knows. If he's a Sith, then he knows. The Sith Lord Darth Sidious, whom the Jedis have been looking for for a long time.
"Yes Excellence, I'll do whatever you ask."
"Gooood." Said Palpatine
"Just help me save Padmé from death, I can't live without her"
"Deceiving death is a power that only one has acquired. But if we work together then we can solve the mystery!"
Well, he can't, this sentence says it clearly, thought Anakin.
The heavy door opened and many Jedi Masters came in: Kit Fisto, Agen Kolar, Seasee Tiin and Marce Windu. Palpatine, now revealed to be Darth Sidious, immediately jumped, spinning like a screw in the air, and killing three Masters in a second. Only Marce Windu remained. He was one of the greatest Jedi who could see moments into the future, so he was able to foresee Sidious 'steps. The fight between the two began. Windu was the only one who fought with Vaapad lightsaber fighting style. This fighting style needed the permission of the Jedi Council because it uses the light as well as the dark side of the Force. Marce Windu confronted the Sith Lord and wanted to kill him, but Anakin was still in doubt whether Sidious could really help him.
"Help me Anakin, your wife and child will die without me."
"You were were very imprecisely about your abilities to save Padmé and the child."
"You will regret it."
"Anakin, we have to kill him, he's dangerous. We cannot arrest him, he will escape. "
Anakin was still undecided. Windu held his sword upright and fended off the Sith's lightning bolts back on him. Sidious began to deform, to shrink, his face was disfigured.
"Anakin, you have to make decision ... NOW !"
Anakin raised his lightsaber as long as Windu was holding the Sidious against the wall with reflected lightning, and severed the Sith Lord's head.
The galaxy could breathe a sigh of relief. It was done.
Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, the chosen one, fulfilled his destiny.
