AN: Hey everyone! KD here...and boy am I tired...so just enjoy the chapter and review, review, review!

Chapter Seven:

"What do you mean Skywalker?" Windu demanded.

"Just that. I am no longer a Jedi." Anakin said standing up tall. He knew that the next few moments were critical. He was going to find Padmé; with or without their help.

Obi-Wan and Yoda stood by in silence. Obi-Wan had no idea what to say and Yoda stood by and watched. Finally the old Jedi Master sighed.

"What you want, then so be it." Yoda calmly said.

Anakin nodded, took his lightsaber from his belt and put it on the ground at Yoda's feet. Then without hesitation, he turned and headed back towards the hangar bay on the ship. He was going on his own to find Padme and defeat Sidious.

As Obi-Wan watched Anakin leave, he felt his heart sink and a bit of anger grew. "How could you just let him go like that? Is he not the Chosen One!" Obi-Wan snapped, picking up Anakin's discarded lightsaber and holding it in his hand.

"The Chosen One he may be. But he made this decision is his own! And he has broken several rules of the Jedi code as well." Windu shot back

"Well the council never made it easy for him to fit in! And I see why! We all feared him! And now possibly he's going to become what we feared – an agent of evil! He already briefly turned and the memories of his mother and Qui-Gon helped him turn back, as well as the love of his wife! Now why take that from him now? Now when he is tethering on the edge of the dark side?" Obi-Wan said breathlessly.

He looked back and forth between the two older Masters. It looked to him like both of them were in shock about his emotional blow up. He had to admit that he was a bit shocked as well.

"Help him, Obi-Wan. Save Senator Amidala." Yoda said.

"Yes Master." Obi-Wan said bowing briefly as he handed Anakin's lightsaber to Windu as he turned to go after Anakin.

"Wait Obi-Wan." Windu said.

Obi-Wan turned around and looked at the Jedi Master.

"Anakin will need this," he said handing the lightsaber back to Obi-Wan.

Obi-Wan took the lightsaber back and smiled somewhat.

"May the Force be with you and Skywalker," Windu said.

"As well as you Masters." Obi-Wan said turning and leaving.


Anakin moved from ship to ship in the hangar bay. There wasn't much to choose from. He couldn't take Padmé's ship to find Sidious. He would know who it was then.

"Come on Anakin. I've got us a ship."

Anakin turned around to see Obi-Wan standing behind him. "What are you doing here Master?"

Obi-Wan smiled slightly. "Helping you get your wife back and destroy Sidious."

"How? I'm not a Jedi any longer. I've broken the Code."

"At the moment that doesn't matter Anakin. All that matters is defeating the Sith. Now come on," Obi-Wan said turning and walking towards a ship. Then he stopped. "You might need this."

Obi-Wan tossed the lightsaber back to Anakin, who caught it easily. A small smile spread across Anakin's lips. Hopefully now things could be different.

Suddenly Anakin was struck with a vision like the ones of Padmé he had been having. But this one was worse. This one felt real.

His knees buckled and Anakin fell to his knees as he began to tremble. Obi-Wan knelt by his side and placed his hands on Anakin's shoulders.

"What is it Anakin?"

"I feel Padmé in pain. Something's happening!"
