Here is the next part. This fic is turning out to be longer than I expected it to at the time I began, since I have a few more things I'd like to depict. And I like posting it in smaller parts so it may end up being several more posts long.
----------------------------------------------------






"Master..." I choked out, still addressing him with the respect due him, respect I had given grudgingly before and now bestowed willingly. I watched as his eyes searched for me for a moment until they rested on my face. They took on an expression of peace, although I knew he must have been in terrible agony. One scorched hand reached out to me, grasping my own shaking one. "Master, I..,I'm so-...I..." I faltered, knowing an apology meant nothing now, the damage had been done. His expression did not change but seemed to deepen as I watched so much love bring light into them that my knees suddenly found difficulty in holding up the weight of my body.

Suddenly I heard a voice, that I recognized to be his voice, but his mouth wasn't moving, it couldn't move. Indeed, his lips were so blistered I wondered why he wasn't screaming incoherantly from the pain. "I always knew you had it in you, Anakin." The voice said, in a satisfied manner that I almost thought sounded like pride. But how could that be? Why would he feel anything but loathing for me now? " Ani, I always loved you, you were the only son I ever had. You may not have been borne of my flesh, but the Force has decided that our paths were destined to cross, you were destined to be my padawan. And you have been trained well. Your light sabor skills are magnificent." My stomach lurched when I thought of how well he now knew my light sabor skills.

"Master," I began, "What is your wish of me? I will do anything you ask of me. I will go to the council and tell them what has happened, and where you are. I will confess everything and take my punishments like a man, I-" He held up his hand again, cutting off my words. "You will go to the council, and tell them theirs been a terrible accident. I have fallen into the lava pit and been rescued by the medi squad, and am in the center recovering. You do not know how it happened. You were here on business for the Chancellor, and got a call on your comm, that I had been in some sort of trouble. And you came to me here. That is all you will tell them, my friend. Do you understand?"

I'm sure Obi-Wan could read the shock and confusion in my eyes and my mind through the Force, for even injured as he was, he obviously still had a kinship with the Force that I could have never understood. His mouth moved slightly, but the pain was too great for him to stretch his lips, or I think he would have smiled. "Anakin, I have failed you in the past, leaving you open to the Dark forces of Sidious was my mistake and cost us both dearly, but I will not allow it to happen
again. I won't allow you to have the repercussions of the past events put on your shoulders. I, of course, will not be able to convince the Jedi to take you back into the academy, but I can convince them to afford you leniancy...but you will have to go into exile..the planet Dagoba is remote, you will not be recognized.I will discuss the matter with Master Yoda as soon as I'm able to."

Wow, thank you guys for reading and posting, it really means alot to me.

As for the question of Luke training, I won't give anything away yet, but let's just say both of the twins will be making appearances in the future. Not in the next post or anything, but soon.

The next post is going to deal with Anakin mending his broken relationships with Padme and Obi-Wan, as Padme of course is not going to immediately fully trust him yet after everything, and therefor, would not put her children at risk by letting him in unless she trusted him.
Re-earning someones trust completely after you betray them takes some time and effort from both people involved. And he has to show some of that effort before she will risk having him in her life again, especially once the twins are born.

Obi-Wan has already forgiven him completely, but Ani still has an overwhelming sense of guilt over his betrayal of Obi, so he will have to mend some fences there before he can go on in his life and truelly be happy with who he is and feel deserving of their love and trust. As we saw in the movie ROTS. Guilt plays a serious role in his inevitable turn. So if he is going to avoid a repeat mistake, he has to get over his guilt.

Good story so far.

I don't think Obi-Wan's medical prognosis would be quite as bad as that.

Bacta is able to supposedly regrow skin and tissues with minimal scarring. As well, the Force has strong healing abilities in the Light Side use.

I think Anakin wasn't treated properly in ROTS because of two reasons: one, Palpatine wanted to keep him under his thumb. Thus, his burns weren't given proper treatment (no bacta, no plastic surgery, etc).

Secondly, the Dark Side isn't able to heal people. Its power is used to destroy. They would be unable to use Force-healing techniques on him.

So, Anakin is going to go into exile on Dagobah? That's interesting. Will Padme accompany him?

Number 1: The Dark Side CAN be used to heal.
It is used clearly in The Sith Wars comics to do so.:)


Number 2: Kanobi's injuries in this story are to be comperable to those Anakin suffered when the same thing happened to him in the movie. If Anakin can have injuries from the same fall, that almost end his life, why not Kanobi? I see that you say he could heal himself using the Force, but I think in extreme cases the persons ability to use it would be severely hindered. If not, why couldn't Windu just grow another hand back and keep fighting?

Number 3: Will Anakin go into exhile? Will Padme go with him?

You'll have to wait and see [;)]

Date Posted: 6/15/05 7:32pm Subject: RE: Inner Turmoil - Anakin Skywalker/Obi-wan/Vader/Padme ~(Updated 6/15 )~ - Date Edited: 5/13 4:15pm (2 edits total) Edited By: Vaders_Angel

His tone, even in thought, left little room for argument, added to the fact that at the very least, I owed him my obediance now. I simply nodded. I was numb, their was nothing left for me here anyway, Padme was gone, my chances of becoming Jedi, vanished, the trust afforded me by the counvcil...I had made sure that was destroyed as well. The only reason I had left was right in front of me, and obviously he wanted me to go. So there it was.

"I'm not getting rid of you, my former Padawan, I simply want to keep you alive, if the republic get hold of you after the things you've...well, you know, I'm afraid you would not last long. And the same can be said of the Empire, now that you've defected. I wouldn't doubt if Sidious has someone looking for you, he can feel the balance has shifted in the Force and he may sense it concerns you. Which would send him into a panic, making him stop at nothing to uncover your whereabouts. The further away you are at the moment the better, my young friend." Just as I was about to argue, the nurse droid came up behind me and signaled it was time to let him rest.

I turned to say goodbye, and he lifted his hand to me as a gesture of love. He was asking for my compliance with his wishes, as well as making an effort to say goodbye, in the only way he could.

Deep down I knew he was right, as he always was. I wanted to stay with him, to help him recover, perhaps partly to ease the burdon of my guilt, but it was unwise. I didn't want to take that hand, because I knew it was the same as giving in. It meant I would run away with my tail between my legs like some kind of wounded pet. I would appear even more weak and cowardly to anyone who knew me. But it was what he wanted. It was the one thing he was asking of me. He was only thinking of my safety, when just hours ago, I had no regard for his. I would not deny him a second time. I would wrap the memories I had of when we had been a team, along with my memories of Padme, around me like a blanket. And I would take them with me for the rest of my life, wherever I went. I He was still my Master, if by nobody elses definition but my own. I would fulfill the request of my Master.

And accept the hand he was offering me.

Yes this was a very short post, the next one will be much longer. I am going to take my time with it since the last two posts have not been what I want exactly, and get it beta-read. So the next post will not be done quickly, but it will be worth it. wink
