Chapter 5

Palpatine began to wonder. He had not heard from Vader, who usually made contact when he reached his destination. He reached out with his senses and found Vader, deep in anger and fighting on Polis Massa. Unbeknownst to him, this was a trick; Yoda had put this image up when he had shielded them from Palpatine's senses. Pleased, he resigned himself to plotting. He had a plan for Vader's children. He would train them personally; show them the true power of the dark side. Sidious would twist them around his finger, make them his slaves.

"You mean Qui Gon?" Obi Wan said in surprise. He hadn't seen or heard anything about Qui Gon being a force spirit. Yoda said, "Mean him, I do. Call him now, I will." Yoda closed his eyes and began to glow blue in with the force. The light engulfed him and suddenly it faded. Standing next to him was the glowing blue figure of Qui Gon Jinn. Qui Gon said, "My Obi Wan how you've changed. Its nice to see you my old padawan. But how have you let your padawan go so astray. I'm assuming that monstrous figure is Anakin." Obi Wan hung his head in shame. He said, "I tried Master I really did. I don't think I was completely ready to take on a padawan with as much power as Anakin." Qui Gon said, "You are forgiven Obi Wan, for it is not the way of the light to take such matters to heart forever. Now we must attend to Anakin. I can restore him."

Anakin moved excitedly toward Qui Gon and said, "Thank you Master! Please hurry." Qui Gon said, "Patience Anakin, that is another skill you must learn if you are to remain within the light. Now, I'm going to have to put you into an unconscious state, so you do not feel any pain." Anakin said, "Okay, I'm ready." Qui Gon touched one glowing finger to Anakin's helmet and he keeled over backwards, falling with a heavy thud. Bail said, "Maybe he should've laid down first." Everybody laughed nervously except Padme who still refused to believe that monster was her husband. Qui Gon crouched over Anakin, which was something to see since he was floating a few inches above the ground. He laid his hand on Anakin's helmet, where his forehead would be. He said, "May the force relieve you of your burden. You have accepted the light; now become what you were meant to be! Anakin Skywalker, the great Jedi Knight."

Anakin's body began to shake, rattling the suit that once kept him alive. After a few minutes of shaking, his body began to glow softly blue and rose from the ground. He slowly set back down and the glow faded. Also, his respirator stopped. The room was completely silent except for the cooing of the twins, who Padme was attempting to keep quiet with pacifiers. Obi Wan said, "Did it work?" Yoda shot him a look that said, 'Patience!' and he reddened and quieted down. Suddenly Anakin jerked awake inside his suit. He felt very closed in and stifled, like he was in a very small room. He rose and grabbed his helmet. After a pneumatic hiss of air and a small amount of depressurization, the helmet began to move upward slowly. Suddenly, as if released it shot up, and where it once stood fell a mop of blond hair around a angular face. Blue eyes stared from where yellow ones once inhabited and the dazzling smile that everyone loved beamed at them. Anakin Skywalker had returned to the light.

A/N: This isn't the end folks. What about Palpatine and his Empire? Just wait and see what's coming.
