Here's the next Chapter Enjoy!
Padme' ran up and hugged Anakin when they arrived back at base "I'm so glad you're okay" she said.
"Was there ever any doubt?" Anakin said jokingly.
"Of course, not" Padme' said sarcastically playing along.
"I'm glad the Emperor and Vader are dead" Onasi said "they brought way too much suffering to everyone in the galaxy."
"They most certainly did my young Padawan" Anakin replied. "Is that you General Skywalker?" Rex asked as he walked up.
"Rex! You survived" Anakin said happily.
"You didn't really think I would die that easily did you?" Rex questioned sarcastically.
"I suppose not" Anakin said then turning on the others "Why didn't you tell me Rex survived?" he questioned.
"He was on a mission when you escaped, and we thought when he came back it would be a nice surprise" Padme' answered.
"Well" Anakin reluctantly answered "it was a nice surprise." "I'm glad you liked it Ani" Padme' said enjoying being in the presence of her close friends and family.
"How are we supposed to destroy the Empire?" Bail asked.
"Well we do have Darth Vader's suit" Anakin answered.
"And what would that do?" Mon asked.
"Darth Vader is my clone if I wear the suit I can easily impersonate him and say that he tried to defend the Emperor but had been injured and was know the rightful leader of the Empire" Anakin said seriously, but then added sarcastically "We could always ignore that fact and try some other way to destroy the Empire" Anakin said laughing.
"Not funny and that is a good plan" Padme' said back grinning from his sarcasm.
"Yes, Milady that is duly noted and I will refrain from sarcasm again" Anakin retorted his voice full of sarcasm.
"I'm sure you will kind sir" Padme' replied with equal sarcasm.
Anakin shut up realizing he had been defeated and could think of nothing to say.
"Someone can actually defeat the great master of sarcasm known as Anakin Skywalker" Onasi said laughing.
"Don't even try my young padawan" Anakin said danger lurking in his voice.
"Do not threaten you're padawan Ani, it isn't nice" Padme' ordered.
"Fine, but only for you Angel" Anakin said with a smile on his face.
"Always the charmer aren't you?" Padme' questioned.
"Well of course my Angel, everything for you" Anakin answered a charming smile on his face.
"Well I for one think that this plan you made should work it would be way easier to dismantle the Empire from the inside rather then the outside" Bail said trying to get back to the plan.
"Yes, it shouldn't be that hard and then when the Republic is reborn Darth Vader will disappear forever and we won't have to live in fear anymore" Anakin said mainly addressing Padme' "and we ca also begin the Jedi Order anew and find any surviving Jedi including the missing young Ezra Bridger."
"yes, Ezra is powerful and should be found with his abilities combined with who we have here the Jedi Order will be saved" Ahsoka said.
"Obi-Wan did Master Yoda survive The Purge?" Anakin asked.
"Yes, he did he is hidden and should remain so until the Republic is reborn" Obi-Wan answered.
"That would be wise there are any number of situations that could arise that would make it a bad idea for us to know his location" Anakin said seeing the wisdom in what Obi-Wan was saying.
"Well for once my former padawan is actually thinking" Obi-Wan said sarcasm loaded in his tone.
"Hey, I'm not an idiot as you are calling me" Anakin said pretending to be offended.
"Yes, you are an idiot Anakin" Obi-Wan replied.
"Hey, I'm offended" Anakin replied trying to act hurt and failing miserably. "You need to work on your offended face" Obi-Wan Said.
"Yea, I do its kind of bad isn't it?" Anakin said.
"It's very bad which means your actually right about something" Obi-Wan said laughing.
"You should be nicer to my Dad Uncle Obi-Wan" Luke said.
"And where is the fun in that?" Ahsoka asked joining in.
"Ahsoka's right, where is the fun in that?" Obi-Wan said.
"Ehhem, isn't this meeting about figuring out how to take down the Empire? Not arguing?" Bail said more than slightly frustrated yet amused by their arguments.
"Bail is correct we must focus on the Empire" Leia said being very much the politician like her mother. "Yes, we should get back to the meeting" Anakin said.
"What if the Empire finds out that you're not Vader, what might happen Ani?" Padme' questioned. "I'll be fine Angel they'll never learn that I'm not Vader and then we can raise this little baby together as a family without the Empire looming over us, don't worry about me Angel this will work out" Anakin said.
"It, better Ani, I can't live without you again" Padme' said.
"You won't have to live without me Padme' I'll be fine" Anakin said pulling her into his arms and giving her a kiss as they drifted of to sleep in each other's arms.
The next morning Anakin took of to Coruscant in an Imperial Senate ready to appear before the senate.
"Be careful Ani" that's what Padme' had said when they parted ways, Leia had come along to be his personal assistant in dismantling the Empire.
The Next Day: Imperial Senate Chambers
"I was lucky to survive, I was injured attempting to protect the defenseless Emperor, which now leaves me as the sole inheritor to the Empire and your new Emperor" Anakin said addressing the Imperial Senate.
"What do you plan to do as the new Emperor?" a senator asked.
"I will be taking down the governors and giving full power back to the Senate, to reform the Galactic Republic and to prevent one from ever fully taking over again instead of having a singular Chancellor you will have a council of Chancellors to prevent another Empire from forming" Anakin replied.
"That is, it for this Senate meeting" Anakin ordered lowering his pod back down out of the Senate Chambers as the Senate Chambers were in an uproar over what Anakin had said.
