Chapter 15
Adenan Kornen is 16 years old in this story. Also, I just assumed that Padmé gave birth to her kids two weeks before they were actually meant to be born, and this chapter would take place two weeks after the Duel of Mustafar took place in the Canon Universe
Anakin Skywalker was enraged, the Jedi threatening Padmé was true, and it was true that his old master, Obi-Wan Kenobi, joined the Traditionalists, Mace Windu's lapdog no less!
The first time he was on Coruscant, back when he was nine, he sensed Mace Windu was not so light, and he realised all of it now, as Mace Windu gone to the Dark Side. He was now on Coruscant. The Balancers set themselves up on Padmé apartment, but Padmé was trapped in her office by the Traditionalists.
Anakin walked to the main room, to find the familiar large couch, lights and huge window showing the speeders and buildings that were common to Coruscant. Adenan was sitting on the middle couch, watching Faro play a game on a portable console, he was also wearing red headphones on his head.
"Kids." Anakin sighed, how was he going to take care of his own?
Adenan looked back "Hello Master!", he greeted
"Hello Adenan, tell Faro to put that down for a second" Anakin requested
Adenan did so by lightly tapping Faro's shoulder. He looked at his friend, who pointed his finger at the Jedi Knight.
"Oh. Master Skywalker" Faro greeted
"We need to go save Padmé, the time is now Adenan" Anakin told him
"In that case, bye!" Faro told Adenan
Adenan stood up and waved to Faro. Yoda came into the room and looked at the two humans who were standing and the Rodian on the couch.
"Master Yoda" Anakin bowed to him
"Go, you must, save your wife" Yoda urged the two
"Yes Master" Adenan bowed to Yoda and the two left
Anakin and Adenan were going to test their armour for the first time, they got Anakin's yellow speeder and left for the Chancellor's office. Adenan began humming a song that he was familiar with, it sounded like a theme that would be used for fighting, though Anakin never heard of it.
Padmé Amidala Skywalker was hopeful that Anakin was going to save him, she was a mess. Her hair was messy and her clothes were wrinkled. She wasn't feeling well emotionally either, Master Luminara Unduli was 'guarding' her office, making sure she wouldn't escape.
She walked around the soft, red floor, but she didn't feel comfortable, she never will without knowing if Anakin was dead or alive. She looked out her window to see the Jedi Temple, the once pillar of strength and peace, now, the Clone Wars and the Traditionalists tarnished that reputation thoroughly. Now it was a place everyone tried to dodge, due to their fear of the Jedi.
Padmé hoped that Anakin would be able to fix this mess, she didn't call him the Chosen One because that made him feel left out, Anakin was a person. But she somehow knew that Anakin was their salvation in this dangerous era. Despite Palpatine was defeated, Mace Windu was now the very evil he swore himself to destroy.
Luminara came into the room, she was wearing her cloak, she had a scowl on her black tattooed green face. Padmé had absolutely no idea how even the most compassionate Traditionalists turned out to be like this.
"So, here to bug me more?" Padmé sarcastically asked
Luminara just rolled her eyes "No, just to tell you to be a good little Senator until Anakin is dead"
"Anakin never did anything to you!" Padmé retorted
"Yes he did! He put Barriss in prison!" Padmé hoped Luminara would tell that she loved Barriss, but was thrown off-guard when Luminara told something completely different "She was one of our greatest healers!"
Padmé went to think of her new statement, but then decided to settle on nothing at all when she saw that Luminara left.
Anakin was driving the speeder at breakneck speed, something that he never got to do with Obi-Wan, apparently, Adenan liked going at high speeds that would give a normal person the chills. Anakin tried to drive faster. But then his navigation computer told him to go up to get to the big window of the Chancellor's office.
Anakin drove up and Adenan groaned. Anakin understood why Adenan did that, because he wanted more breakneck speeds.
"So, now what?" Adenan asked
"This" Anakin answered, activating his lightsaber "Take the wheel and keep the speeder hovering
Adenan slid into the drivers seat as Anakin stood on the chair Adenan was on, which was closest to the Chancellor's Office Window. Anakin used his lightsaber to create a hole on the window. Anakin jumped in and tapped his nose.
Adenan apparently understood and exclaimed "Crash into here? Are you insane?!"
Anakin sighed and instructed "Just do it!"
Adenan drove forward, shattering the three week fixed window. Anakin felt Padmé's presence while watching Adenan get off the speeder, that was landed on the floor.
"Now we need to fix that window again!" Padmé mock pouted
"Padmé!" Anakin exclaimed, and looked behind him to see his beautiful wife standing behind him. Adenan gasped at her condition
"I know Adenan, I'm a mess" Padmé told Adenan
"No you're not a mess, you're beautiful" Anakin told Padmé, who blushed
Adenan sensed something dangerous, he perked up, preparing to tell his master and his wife, but then, Master Luminara Unduli bursted through the door.
"Anakin Skywalker and his newest Padawan! Master Windu gave me orders to kill you!" Luminara exclaimed
"Won't happen, Lumy!" Adenan mocked, activating his lightsaber and getting into a Form V stance, raising his orange lightsaber gracefully. The light pierced with the yellow light coming from the room
Anakin did the same, his blue lightsaber contrasting with the yellow and orange lights. Luminara activated her green lightsaber and charged at the duo. Adenan defended Luminara's attack.
Anakin continued duelling Luminara. Adenan went out of the two opponents and raised his mind shields to think of a strategy. He figured that Luminara could hold off two Jedi opponents, but what about two Jedi and a Chancellor?
Adenan smirked as he activated his rainbow lightsaber, it dramatically activated with one colour at a time. Padmé was awed by the colour of the lightsaber.
"Padmé! Catch!" Adenan called out, throwing the rainbow lightsaber at the Chancellor, who caught it successfully.
"Adenan, why give the lightsaber to me?" Padmé asked
Adenan grinned nostalgically "I give the rainbow lightsaber to Bethrona all the time!"
Adenan and Padmé charged at Luminara, and then hit both sides of Luminara. The Jedi Master was fazed by the attack on her sides. She yelped in pain and doubled the pressure of her attacks. Anakin and Adenan used each other's movements to push their attacks on Luminara, Padmé was trying to keep up with the speed and hold her own.
"Damn politicians!" Luminara exclaimed, force pushing Padmé, who fell clumsily. Adenan used the Force to pull his rainbow lightsaber towards him. He assumed a Jar'Kai stance, optimised for wielding two lightsabers at the same time.
Adenan used a force-induced attack on Luminara with all the pent-up anger in him. Luminara was pushed back by the attack. Anakin realised that this was not a battle they could not win, despite Adenan's miraculous powers.
"Adenan! Take Padmé and get out!" Anakin ordered
"But Master… Anakin! I can't leave you!" Adenan cried out in protest
"Just… do it!" Anakin hesitated
Adenan had tears threatening to drop on his eyes. He closed his eyes and sighed. Then he went to Padmé, who was also like Adenan, almost crying.
"Ani… no!" Padmé whispered, not wanting to lose her husband right after being able to see him once again
"We need to get outta here!" Adenan exclaimed, his tone giving away the fact that he didn't want to do this either
Padmé sighed "Ok Adenan!"
Adenan and Padmé ran to the yellow speeder as Adenan drove out. Anakin looked at the speeder, and then sighed, he was ready to give his life, for the Jedi… for, the Force!
Anakin charged at Luminara, well aware that this might be his last duel. Anakin executed his offences perfectly, but Luminara defended the attacks equally as perfect.
Anakin heard his dead master, Qui-Gon Jinn's voice "Anakin, let go!"
Anakin had a confused face "What?", he muttered
"Let go, my boy!" Qui-Gon urged "Let go to the Force, use love! Think of the life you want to give Adenan and Padmé… and your future children!"
Anakin thought of himself, Adenan and Padmé in a nice house, holding his future twins… twins.
Anakin felt a surge in the force as he started glowing all white, his body began to glow all white and he floated in the air as he summoned a white plasma beam from his palms.
"No!" Luminara shouted, knowing what was happening "That's impossible!"
Luminara began to feel very angry, so… enraged. She lifted one of her hands and summoned force lightning. Anakin caught the Force Lightning with his hands. He began shooting red force lightning at Luminara.
Luminara thought that Anakin was too dark to perform a pure light move, but she was utterly mistaken, why couldn't any of the Traditionalists do it?
Adenan was driving his speeder as he heard a voice in his mind "Adenan, go back to Anakin!"
"Qui-Gon!" Adenan whispered, he met Qui-Gon's ghost many times, and he knew not to ignore his judgement.
"What?" Padmé, who was beside him, asked
"We need to go back!" Adenan exclaimed with new found hope
Adenan began driving very fast, towards his master, Padmé's husband.
Anakin used his light powers to shoot a beam of pure light at Luminara, who started getting disintegrated by it.
In the beam of light, agonising pain gave way to the bleeding feeling of realisation as Luminara finally knew which was the Good Side. Luminara stopped trying to resist the power as she realised that the Traditionalists had become the evil they've sworn to fight, she knew she would die peacefully.
Anakin turned back to normal, as the light faded. Anakin was very awed at his new power as he saw his speeder come back with Adenan and Padmé. He wondered about the power he performed, then a name came into his mind 'Embodiment of the Light', the name said. Anakin smiled at the name.
Padmé ran to Anakin, who hugged her and spun her around. Adenan smiled broadly at Anakin. Anakin pulled Adenan towards a hug, who accepted it. They hugged for a while until Adenan released his master.
"I thought I'd never see you two again!" Anakin confessed
Adenan smirked "I thought the same too! What happened?"
It was Anakin's turn to smirk "I turned into full embodiment of the light!"
"Really?" Adenan clearly did not believe Anakin
"Yes really!" Anakin exclaimed "And the answer was… love, my love for you both!"
Adenan smiled at the fact that Anakin loved him, not that way, but as a son. Adenan shed happy tears, though he was unaware of the fact. Anakin climbed onto the speeder, so did Adenan and Padmé, and this time, they all left for Padmé's apartment
I got the light side power Anakin used to kill Luminara from a power Lilac Moon uses in his… her? I don't know the gender… the author's stories, mainly in the stories Matter of Hope and the Never Gone series of Star Wars Fanfiction. That author likes Anakin x Padmé stories, so it was fitting.
