The man blew dust from the speeder parts. He looked all around and just saw sand and his little house. Up in the sky, the two stars were in the middle. Noon. The man thought. If he was gonna be able to check all the moisture vaporators it needed to be fixed. He put the piece back into the speeder and took out another. Again sand all in it. I hate sand, it's rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere. He said with a thought. Again he blew out the sand put it back in. He made a mental note to weatherize the new speeder for the dessert. As it clicked into place he felt a presence. A presence he had not felt in almost three months. After he had defeated the Sith Lord and been banished from the Jedi.

"Obi-Wan."

"Anakin."

"What are you doing here? I have been banished from the Jedi."

"Yes, I know. But after almost two months of delegation, the council have considered a proposal."

"And what's that?" Anakin put the last pieces of the speeder together and hopped on. He pressed the button and turned it on. It ran smoothly.

"If you leave your family and never contact them again. You'll be accepted back into the order." Anakin looked at Obi-Wan suddenly. Abandon my family? That was not an option he cared too much about them to just leave.

"I can't I love them."

"Come on Anakin. We can make arrangements to have Luke and Leia in the Jedi Order and trained." Anakin turned of the speeder and thought about this. Either way, they would be in the Jedi Order it's only a matter of time. No, Padme would be devastated.

"No, Padme wouldn't be able to bear me and the kids leaving. I will not leave them." Just then Padme came out of the house.

"Anakin did you get the..." She stopped mid-sentence. "Obi-Wan it's nice to see you again. What brings you here?"

"Well, the council have decided to let me back in the order."

"Oh Ani, that's wonderful."

"But only if I abandon you guys." Padme looked shocked.

"Are you serious?" She moved her head back and forth from Obi-Wan and Ani, looking for an answer.

"I'm afraid it is," Obi-Wan replied.

"Again I do not accept the offer. Now, please leave my property." Anakin said in an authoritative voice. Obi-Wan tried to protest but decided to leave. This left Anakin wondering, what should he do.

"Anyways, did you fix the speeder?"

"Yes, I did I'm going to check the vaporators right now."

"Good," she said with a smile.

Later that night Anakin had a dream. It was dark he heard a voice a familiar one. "Mmmhmmhm, How are you Skywalker?"

"Master Yoda? It's good to speak with you."

"Likewise it is. What is on your mind?"

"Why must I give up my family. How are Jedi supposed to protect the people if they can't understand and empathize?"

"Agree with you I do. Trying to get the council to change the rules I am. In the meantime, go to Illum you must and build a lightsaber of the Grey Jedi."

"The Grey Jedi?"

"Mmmm neither light or dark, in the middle they are. Remain a Jedi it will let you, and keep your family." Suddenly Anakin was awakened with a jolt. Luke was crying. Padme groaned and started to get up.

"I got this honey." He pulled off the sheets and went into Lukes room. He picked him up and put him on the changing table. Using the force he floated over a diaper and some wipes.

"Don't worry you're gonna be fine." He wiped and put the diaper on him. But yet Luke still persisted to cry. Anakin patted his back very gently and finally put him back to sleep. Now it was time for him to get some sleep.

He woke up in the morning and put his arm around Padme. He felt around for her body and finally found it. A sea of comfort washed over him the like waves on Naboo. His mind was taken back there and remembered the good times. He blinked a couple of times and got of bed. He took a shower and brushed his teeth and started to pack. In his bag, he put in his old hilt. One of the three things he kept from the order. Padme walked in.

"Where are you going?"

"Illum."

"Why?"

"Yoda came to me in a dream and told me too. I must do this to begin my path to the Jedi." Padme looked at him and bit her lip thinking.

"Just come home safe. I love you."

"I love you too. I'm getting my brother to come and help out." He finished packing and went outside. He proceeded to the back of the house and there was his Jedi starfighter.

"R2 come over here." The droid beeped and got into the starfighter. "Ready for another adventure?"

"Beepowhoop." Anakin smiled and turned on the ship. It rose three feet in the air and he took off. He picked up speed and lifted out of the atmosphere. He called over his hyperdrive ring, he docked and then punched in the coordinates. He punched it and everything became blue.

Finally, he dropped out of hyperspace. What greeted him was a fleet of Venator-class Star Destroyers.

"Jedi Starfighter identify yourself." It was the voice of a clone. Oh great, I wonder if my identification code still works.

"This is Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, identification code 3-1-9-3." There was a pause on the other end. The Jedi kept his banishment under wraps because how would it look if a hero of the clone wars, slayer of two sith got banished because of a rule infraction.

"Roger, welcome General Skywalker."

"Thank you. Out of curiosity, who's the Jedi in charge with this fleet."

"That would be Obi-Wan Kenobi, sir." Great, I have to deal with Obi-Wan. Anakin did some thinking and remembered that Obi-Wan had been charged with commanding the 212th and 501st. Meaning Rex was on the planet, maybe even Ashoka. Ashoka and Rex he could trust, but Obi-Wan? Then he realized he was still communication with the clone.

"I will also need the holo channels for the fleet. Think I can get those?"

"Yes, sir I'm sending them to you now." He got them and immediately hid his presence on there. With the amount of force connection on the planet, he could easily hide his presence within the force.

"Thank you." He remembered he had to respond. He cut off the communications and flew to the other side of the world. He could let Ashoka sense him and have her meet him. She would know not to let Obi-Wan know. What about Rex how would he get him to him? He thought about this and then decided to just get Ashoka first and get Rex later. He detached the ring and made his way down to the planet. Reaching out to Ashoka as he did so. Let's hope this works.
