Let us explain, Bail said.
Anakin Skywalker is not Vader, Darth Vader is a clone. Obi-Wan said.
Well where has Skywalker been all these years? And let him answer himself! Declared another Rebel.
Anakin stepped up and said, I have been a prisoner to the Emperor for the past nineteen years.
And were supposed to believe that? The first rebel asked.
Anakin began to answer, yes you are suppo_, Anakin fell to the ground knowing he couldn't block the images, No, not again Anakin said, Padme' and Obi-Wan rushed to side having a feeling they knew what was going on Luke and Leia to but the waited.
Vader walked into a village and started slaughtering the men who were trying to protect the women and children, the children were screaming, when Vader had gotten rid of the men he quickly started on the women with no room for mercy as the children watched.
No, no, not again, please not again, Anakin said. Well Padme' just held him close trying to comfort him.
Vader killed the children and babies to choking some and stabbing and decapitating others.
Then he reached the last child killing it slowly with as much pain as possible.
Anakin it's Vader again isn't it? Obi-Wan asked.
Yes it was a whole village this time men, women children it didn't matter.
I'm so sorry you had to see that Ani, it's alright Angel, I'll be okay.
Obi-Wan helped Anakin up.
What was that? Bail asked.
I have a connection to_
All of the sudden the emperor popped up in holographic form.
Well it looks like I found the Rebel Alliance, everyone in the room gasped when they saw him.
Ah Skywalker, so you escaped, and you really thought I didn't know of your connection to Vader, of course that massacre he just committed was all for you. Palpatine said with an evil laugh.
I'm not your prisoner any more Sidious.
You aren't? that's not right I will always control you he said sadistically shooting lightening from his fingers right into Anakin, you will never defeat me Skywalker, he said as he laid writhing on the ground in pain, everyone to stunned to move at Sidious' surprise entry and you'll be pleased to see what I did to Alderaan, he said in great sarcasm, ah yes viceroy your little peaceful home world along with your wife are all blown to oblivion, with that the hologram disappeared.
Everyone was frozen in place for like a minute before Padme' thought of Anakin.
Ani were did you go? She quickly found him in the corner shaking and frightened.
Ani it's okay, your okay, she pulled him into her embrace he slowly calmed down in her soothing presence.
Hey Angel, I suppose you want me to go to the medbay know am I right? He said quietly suffering in silence as was the usual.
Yes Ani your right, come on lets go.
Sorry Bail, sorry Mon I think we should continue this meeting another time Ani needs to go to the medbay.
It's okay Padme' I think Mon and I understand, Bail said.
Anakin shakily rose to his feet Obi-Wan offered his help.
It's fine Obi-Wan, that wasn't all that bad I've had a lot worse don't worry.
Ani just because you've had worse does not mean it is alright.
The rebels were all curious by what he said that what he'd just received wasn't that bad, so they followed him to the medbay.
When the doctor removed his tunic the ten rebels who had gotten into the medbay were horrified.
Anakin woke up in the morning with Padme' at his side.
She woke and leaned into him, he pulled her close and started kissing her neck and forehead when he was pulled into a deep kiss by Padme' they pulled apart to gain breath before he leaned back in for another kiss, when Obi-Wan walked in when he saw them he was clearly embarrassed.
Anakin Padme' the meeting is about to take place I suggest you get there.
Thanks Obi-Wan, Anakin said in a grumbly tone before he got up and headed to the meeting.
When they arrived the Rebels were much more welcoming.
So I suppose you want to hear of the information I got well I was escaping.
Yes that would be appreciated, Bail Organa said.
Well I got information on the Death Star it is now fully operational and has the ability to destroy a whole planet which is sadly what happened to Alderaan.
We need to destroy this weapon before it can strike again, so the information I got is actually the schematics for the Death Star.
Which should help us find away to destroy it. Anakin said with a weary grin on his face.
How do you get so lucky? Obi-Wan asked.
I thought you didn't believe in luck old man. Anakin replied.
How do you explain you then?
Natural Talent? I think. Old friend.
Hey I'm not that old, your older than me, and I'm not young anymore. Anakin replied smirking.
What did I get myself into, Obi-Wan said shaking his head and rubbing his forehead.
Ah the normal, maybe you shouldn't have taken me as your padawan when I was nine then there would be someone else suffering me, but could you live without your brother? Anakin smirked.
I wonder what I'm going to do with you Padawan.
Hey I am not your Padawan anymore, Anakin declared.
Yes we all know. Obi-Wan said.
The Rebels watched the interplay with interest.
Anakin there is someone who wishes to see you, okay why not Obi-Wan. You can come in now.
Hey Master, Ahsoka said a smile on her face.
Snips, Anakin said, I'm glad your alive.
Well you can hardly get rid of me I did learn from the best…. Skyguy.
I missed you Snips, then he turned around. You got older, well Skyguy can't stay young forever.
I know, Ahsoka ran towards him throwing her arms around him.
Anakin hissed in pain, sorry Master, hey it's ok Ahsoka. You didn't try.
I missed you so much Snips, and I'm sorry for what Vader did to you.
What do you mean? You know I fought Vader?
I mean I see every bad thing Vader does I watched him nearly kill you, I saw him almost kill Ezra Bridger a couple times, I also know a decent number of imperial secrets because of the connection.
Ahsoka, maybe we should try to find this Ezra Bridger I saw great potential in him, he is strong with the Force.
I've missed you master, I know you couldn't survive without some of my recklessness could you?
Maybe it was your wit and sarcasm I was missing, Skyguy.
Maybe so, I know I sure did miss your snippiness. Anakin said happily and then wincing as pain hit his broken ribs.
Are you okay Ani? Padme' said not missing his wince.
It's fine Angel I'm better than I've been in nineteen years. Anakin said putting a smile on his face.
Anakin awoke in the morning and pulled Padme' into a kiss, then he nuzzled her neck, I love you my Angel, I love Ani so much.
Anakin kissed her deeply and fully, then all of the sudden they heard the door open.
Oh, I'm so sorry I didn't mean to interrupt anything, Ahsoka said, embarrassment showing on her face.
It's fine Snips, what do you need?
Well I was just coming to tell you they found a way to destroy the Death Star.
They did? Anakin said surprise evident on his face.
Yea and they thought you should be at the briefing.
Okay Snips were coming, Anakin said as Ahsoka left the room.
Anakin pulled Padme' into a kiss and got up.
Anakin gave Luke a hug when he saw him, hey Luke were going to the briefing you coming?
Yea Dad I am. Anakin swelled with pride when his son called him Dad.
Anakin Smiled happily at Padme' when Leia saw him and gave him a hug, hi Dad, you two are coming to the briefing aren't you? Yes, Leia your mother and I are also going to the briefing.
