19 years after Anakin Skywalker was captured by Palpatine.
Palpatine had made a mistake he had grown complacent about his prisoner allowing him to much freedom.
Anakin's original guard had died the new one was younger and wasn't prepared for guarding Anakin Skywalker. The guard came in with an electrostaff and began to hit Anakin, Anakin used the Force to grab the key for his chains from his new guard.
After a few hours the guard left after he had lapsed into unconsciousness.
When Anakin woke up he grabbed the key and began unlocking his chains then he waited by the door for the guard to come.
The guard walked in and Anakin wrapped the chains around his neck pulled of his helmet and hit him in the head with it HARD.
Anakin ran to the hanger of the Star Destroyer, stopping to get some classified information on the way out. He then ran and jumped into a ship aggravating his injuries and causing him to cry out in pain.
He flew the ship out of the hangar. Now he just had to get into hyperspace. He knew the punishment for trying to escape well, but he had punishment everyday it was just worse much worse.
Anakin punched in the coordinates for the Delyare system planet Dedonisis a place he knew the Empire had no interest in.
Anakin came out of hyperspace knowing he was going to crash, the ship he had was a piece of garbage that had belonged to a smuggler and was in desperate need of repairs.
Anakin saw the ground rushing to meet him and then everything went black.
Luke was playing outside when he saw the ship crash, he grabbed a speeder and headed to the crash.
He used his lightsaber to cut a hole in the cockpit and drag the pilot out.
What he saw shocked him it looked like what his father from Artoo's holoprojector looked like before he was burnt just younger. Luke was utterly confused. He grabbed the pilot and put him on his speeder and went back to the cottage. He arrived and yelled Mom, Uncle Obi-Wan I need help.
Padme' and Obi-Wan stopped abruptly when they saw "Anakin/Vader".
Why did you bring him here? Obi-Wan asked utterly confused.
I don't know. Luke answered honestly.
Anakin woke up with his hands tied behind him in a cottage, his eyes started to adjust to the light then he saw Obi-Wan.
Hi Obi-Wan what are you doing on Dedonisis? Then he remembered Obi-Wan didn't know Vader was a clone.
Obi-Wan looked at him curiously and then angrily, Why Anakin Why did you kill all those innocent younglings?
Obi-Wan you don't understa_, Understand what Anakin? That you tried to kill your pregnant wife?
I didn't Obi-Wan, I would never hurt Padme' Vader is m_, I saw it with my own eyes don't try to lie to me I was there.
Vader is my clone Obi-Wan, Anakin blurted out before Obi-Wan could say more.
What? Obi-Wan, Padme', Luke and Leia all asked.
Vader is my clone. Anakin said.
How do we know your not lying? Obi-Wan asked.
Do I look like a man that was burnt alive? Look at my limbs they aren't all prosthetic are they?
Obi-Wan look in my mind am I lying, please look. Anakin pleaded.
I don't need to look in your mind you are Anakin, Vader wouldn't let us look into your mind.
So where have you been the past nineteen years? Obi-Wan questioned.
Palpatine's prisoner, I've been Palpatine's prisoner for the past nineteen years.
Oh Ani, Padme' spoke up.
Angel, my Angel, he said pulling her into hug him.
Padme' held Anakin close comforting him.
Obi-Wan grabbed some soup and handed Anakin it.
After Anakin had finished four bowls of soup rather quickly.
Obi-Wan asked, How long has it been since you last ate?
Not that long only five days, Ani how do you think five days is not that long? Oh well he normally only feeds me about week from the last time I hate and if I try to escape I can go without food for about two to three weeks.
Ani this is your daughter Leia and you son_, Luke Anakin interjected.
How do you know Luke's name? I know Padme' cause I had a vision when I was captured of you Obi-wan and Luke, I didn't see Leia thoughThen Anakin said my Angel, I sure have missed you.
Anakin, Obi-Wan said finally realizing something Anakin had said, How did you know Vader got burnt and lost his limbs?
Because…. Anakin was answering then he fell to his knees.
He closed his eyes trying to shut out the images he was seeing even though he new it never worked, he was on the ground trying to shut out what he was seeing but it was useless.
Vader walked up to a man and stabbed him in the stomach and watched him fall to his knees then he decapitated another man, then he reached out his hand and pulled a woman back right onto his waiting blade it protruding gruesomely from her chest.
Anakin what's wrong? Padme' asked, Anakin barely heard her to focused on what he was seeing.
Then a man said please have m-merc_ Vader stabbed the man without a second thought the lightsaber burning his intestines , then he saw a little boy,
Anakin tried to block the image and said No, please it was like watching the younglings all over again.
The little boy said Mama, Papa No,
Vader half-raised his lightsaber, then he deactivated it and raised his hand choking the boy till he went limp.
No, no, no Anakin said before stumbling outside and falling to the ground.
Anakin what's wrong? Padme' asked as she cradled him in her arms.
Anakin's eyes were horrified and scared. He managed to utter one word before he broke down sobbing, Vader.
Anakin what do you mean by Vader? What does this have to do with Vader? Obi-Wan asked.
Vader's mind it's connected to mine every time he does something horrible I see it, so that answers your question from before, no Palpatine does not tell me I see it, don't worry it only goes one way he cannot see me. Anakin managed to say.
Oh Ani, you saw every horrible thing he did? Padme' asked horrified by the prospect.
Yes Angel, Mustafar, the younglings, the Temple, every massacre.
Anakin clung to Padme' well Luke and Leia stood silently by not saying a thing, just watching.
Then Anakin drifted off into oblivion.
