Chapter 1: Anakin finds himself in the future
Tatooine: Anakin Skywalker woke up and stared at his surroundings. He stared at his Jedi robes and lightsaber and then again at his surroundings. He realized he was at the Lars Homestead. He then saw an older woman.
"Pardon me, could you tell me where I am?" He asked her. She stared at him, startled.
"Who are you and where is Luke?" She asked. He stared at her not realizing he had been displaced with his son.
"I don't know ma'am. My name is Anakin Skywalker. I'm a Jedi," he said. Her eyes widened suddenly with recognization. She then embraced the young Jedi.
"I'm Beru Lars. We haven't seen you since you went after your mother and we buried her." She said as they walked to the main house.
"Uh yes. What has happened since I left?" Anakin asked.
"Palpatine has become Emperor claiming that the Jedi were trying to take over the Galactic Senate, and he is in league with someone named Darth Vader," She said as she pointed to a holo-emitter where they picked up occasional news from Coruscant, the Galactic capital of the Empire.
"That's impossible!" He said. Owen came in, and was reintroduced to Anakin.
"Why is that impossible Anakin?" Beru asked.
"Because I am Darth Vader," he said emphatically.
Coruscant the distant past-Luke Skywalker woke up to see an aide to Emperor Palpatine standing over him.
"Who are you?" The aide said, not recognizing Luke.
"I am Luke Skywalker, Jedi Master," Luke said. He removed and activated his lightsaber's blade.
"The Emperor wants to see you," The aide said as two clone troopers came in and aimed their weapons at him. He was escorted to see Palpatine, Emperor and someone at his side in the dark armor of Darth Vader.
"Father!" He said. The dark armored one nodded at him.
"Tell me young Skywalker, how did you get here?" Palpatine asked him, leaning forward.
"I don't know! Where am I?" He asked.
"This is the First Empire Day, Jedi Skywalker," The aide said. Luke thought to himself for a minute.
"I'm in the past, but if I'm in the past how do you know who I am?" Luke asked the Emperor.
"I sensed a disturbance in the Force and that disturbance involved my apprentice being split in two and your arrival Master Skywalker. I don't know how you arrived but I would like to discover how my apprentice Lord Vader was split in two and was sent to the past," the dark shrouded younger man that The Emperor was in this time.
"I need access to the Jedi Temple," Luke said. The Emperor shook his head.
"I'm afraid I can't allow that Jedi Skywalker for your kind is outlawed," The Emperor said.
"Begging your forgiveness, My Master, but Skywalker speaks the truth. I invaded the Temple, but I sensed something at work while I did what I was commanded. Shortly after you found me on Mustafar, I was somehow split in two. We must discover what happened. If allowing Skywalker access to the temple then allow it my master," Lord Vader said. Palpatine rubbed his chin with his fingers, and then nodded.
"Very well, My apprentice. Accompany young Skywalker to the Temple," Palpatine finally said. Darth Vader bowed before his master, and he escorted the Jedi Master that was his son to a shuttle that would take them to the temple...
