Chapter 3
All of them, Yoda, Bail, Obi-Wan, and Padme ducked as concrete flew overhead. The twins began crying as Obi Wan swore and said, "Ana-…Vader! Please, these people cause you no harm, leave now." Vader advanced and drew his lightsaber; with a snap-hiss he activated it. The blood red glow of his blade illuminated his mask and gave him a ghastly look. Obi Wan let go of Padme and drew his lightsaber as well. Vader said, "Last time we fought you took from me everything I had Obi Wan. Now it's your turn to pay!" Vader rushed forward, but still unsure of his new body he stumbled. Obi Wan seized this moment to rush in and point his blade straight at Vader's respirator. They both knew that if this were destroyed, Vader would die.
Suddenly Obi Wan heard a voice in his head, it was Vader! He was speaking to him through the force, but it did not sound like he was speaking through his mask. He sounded like Anakin Skywalker, the man Obi Wan had raised as his son and apprentice. Anakin said, "Obi Wan please, Palpatine is watching and if I act like I may have turned back to the light he will kill me for sure. I have returned my friend, I am sorry. Now that I have seen Padme and my children, they are all I want…Please…Help me Master!" Obi Wan was taken aback for a moment but then advanced again, pushing Vader to the floor. Vader rumbled, "Will you kill me this time Obi Wan? Or will you injure me again and leave me for dead? You Jedi don't know when to just kill." Obi Wan said, "No we know when to kill, It's just who we kill that varies." Obi Wan secretly sent a message to Yoda, relaying what Anakin had said. Yoda nodded and limped over. He dropped his staff and held out his arms. A soft blue glow appeared in his palms and began to intensify. Suddenly, it dispersed in an explosion that rocked the hangar.
He said, "Sense us now, Palpatine cannot. Speak freely, you can." Vader rose and said, "Master Yoda! Thank you. Obi Wan please, I don't know how I'm going to get out of this suit and Padme! Oh." He attempted to move toward her but she recoiled, "You will not touch these children you monster. Get away from me!" Anakin was visibly shaken. What was left of his organic body trembled. "But Padme…It's me. Its Anakin I'm back." Padme said, "Anakin Skywalker is dead. You are not, and will never be him."
