	Note: I don't own Star Wars. I shall try to be funny. No...I will be funny. It won't be my fault if you don't laugh. Constantly Updated PM List Quigonjecca Ocelotl_Nesto AND HERE WE GO........... Anakin Skywalker opened his eyes. He looked around and blinked several times. Blink. Blink. Blink. "Where am I?" Anakin spoke in a deep voice several octaves lower than the one he was normally used to. He felt funny as well. It was as if he grew a foot overnight. He felt clumsly, he felt like this wasn't his body. Also his right arm felt funny as well. Anakin looked at his arm. "This is funny." Anakin mused. "This is really funny." He started undoing the strap. When he pulled the glove off his eyes were greeted with a robotic arm. Anakin tried to wiggle his fingers. Each wiggle brought sharp pain. He closed his eyes and winced. "Why do I have a robotic arm?" Anakin flexed the arm despite the pain. He was a guy and a guy can endure any pain. "When did I lose my real arm?" Anakin walked around the abandoned station. There was not a soul around. He filed away the arm thing and voice thing later. His lightsaber was different as well. It was built different but built beautifully. Only he could have such skill in building anything. So logically it must be his. He walked in front of a reflective part of the station and stared at himself. He looked so...old. He looked mature. It was him. He could tell. It was his eyes, his strong chin. His straight hair had strangely curled up and darkened. He also had a wicked scar that made him look like a pirate. The thing that struck him the most was that he didn't have a padawan braid. He was finally a knight. Anakin smilied. He was in the future or this was the most realistic dream he ever had that didn't have death in it. After hitting himself a few times with his real arm he figured it wasn't a dream. Anakin went to the hanger and decided to 'borrow' a ship. He wondered where his future self was. He wondered what did he do to ever lose an arm? Wasn't he the most skillfully Jedi in lightsaber combat? Or the scar? Anakin activated the holo communicator on his ship. He figured it was his ship since it was the only ship in the hanger and also it was the only ship that actually looked wicked. Everything else looked manufactured. This ship actually looked like someone bleed and sweated over it. He wondered what it was called. A fitting name would be Angel. He commed his master. Anakin wondered secretly if this older Obi-Wan would have white hair and be bent over. Obi-Wan always said Anakin will run him ragged and give him gray hair. He also wondered how his future self's relationship is with his former master. "Master?" "Anakin?" It was Obi-Wan. He seemed a bit stressed. "Yes?" "Where are you?" No matter where he was or how old he was Obi-Wan made him feel like a deliquent child who did a really bad thing. "I don't need to tell you." He was a knight after all. Or rather his future self was. The sound of static. Obi-Wan sighed. "Just come back to the temple. Your sudden departure nearly scared Senator Amadela and myself." "Ah." Anakin grinned. His future self knew Padme. Score. "I will return." "The council wishes to speak to you. As does Supreme Chancellor Palpatine." "Yes sir." Anakin almost slapped himself. What self respecting knight said 'yes sir' to his former master? "Anakin..." Obi-Wan paused. "Are you okay? After dueling Dooku and that cybernetic general you must tired." "Yeah I am." Anakin had no clue who Dooku was or the cybernetic general. "I will be seeing you soon Obi-Wan." "I will be waiting Anakin." Obi-Wan closed comms. Anakin leaned back against the pilot's chair. Obi-Wan acknowledged him as an equal. As a knight no longer would he be called padawan. The future was wizard. Anakin piloted the ship to Coruscant. It would be interesting to see an aged Palaptine. Palaptine was always so nice to him. So kind and listening. When he gets back to his own time he would use his knowledge of the future to help Palpatine. Also he could mock his master. As the ship jumped to Corcusant, Anakin thought of Padme. He wondered how beautiful she has grown over the past years. He wondered if she had a boyfriend or husband. That would be the one depressing thing about the future. Padme with a boyfriend or husband. His heart would shatter and he would weap. Somehow deep inside, he felt as if he was her destined soul mate. It was just a feeling he had. Every since he was a little boy and he meet her. He called her an angel. To him she was an angel. And forever she will be an angel. -----signature----- "No, the book is wrong. This whole conclusion is fallacious. --Young River

	Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker stared at himself. He was younger. He was...he still both his arms. When he woke up and noticed that his body felt different he dismissed it as war pains. When he felt two functioning arms he thought he was dreaming and that it was a cruel dream. But when he looked at himself all he could feel was pure joy. He was young. He was whole. Anakin smilied. The awkward smile of boy growing to be a man. As he stared at himself he realized this was a chance to right things. He can save his mother. He can kill Dooku before the war starts. He stop friends from dying in the war. He can save his mother. Anakin dressed. He walked past his master's room. He went to the hanger. He was going to Tattooine to save his mother. Anakin flew to Tattooine, parked the jedi starfighter. He knew where his mother was. He knew everything. He was from the future. He was wiser, older, more powerful. He was going to see his mother again. He could not break his atachment from her. She was a part of him that he will never forget or let go. He won't let go. He found her safe. He found her husband whole. He found his step-brother and his step-brother's girlfriend. He smilied at them. He bowed and talked politely. He went to his mother and hugged her. To smell her scent again. To see her alive unwounded and happy made his heart skip a beat. After all the death and loss he experienced in the war this one moment of joy made him really realize how much he loved her. Made him realize how much he missed her. With tears in his eyes he bid his mother goodbye. He had tried to keep her away from the desert but she made him realize that he couldn't stop her. He could lock her in the house but that would make her sad and she would probably get out anyways. She was her own person and she was strong. There was nothing he could do sort of dragging her with him away from her husband. He wouldn't do that. His mother would ground him for a month for that stunt. He waved goodbye to her husband. He gave his step-brother a man hug and hugged his step-brother's girlfriend. She pretty and homely like. Not like Padme. Padme was HOT! Even after he married her she had this brilliance that reminded him every time he saw her why he married her. While other people's marriage was down the garbage chutes his marriage was rising. He had to admit it was hard to be married and keep it a secret. There were many times that he wished he could scream to the world that he was married. He got the hottest girl in the Senate. All the rest look like bloated gizas. Anakin flew to his next destination. It was time to right things. He may have a younger body but he had power and skill. Also he knew Dooku's every move. This time he would best Dooku. This would end now. Before he jumped into hyperspace he wrote up a report. He wrote in where the clones were, who the clones orignal donator were. He also wrote all he knew that wouldn't comprimise the future too much. He was tempted to give them everything he knew but also knew that if he killed Dooku the war might never occur at all. Anakin sent the file, jumped to hyperspace and placed himself into an advanced trance. He was going to change the future. Make it better and save all those who died. It will save the Jedi. He will save the Jedi. Was it not his destiny? -----signature----- "No, the book is wrong. This whole conclusion is fallacious. --Young River

	Anakin flew back to Courscant. Eyes went wide when he saw all the ships and the smoking crash on surface of the planet. Panic filled him. What had happened in the future? Was there some war? Who were they fighting? Are they winning? As Anakin entered atmo he examined the crash sight. It was a big ship with only half of it there. Whoever piloted it was very skillfull. Anakin hoped it was him. Now everyone has to see how powerful he was and how Obi-Wan was holding him back. Anakin piloted down to the temple. He zoomed into the hanger and climbed out. The hanger was more bare than usually. There were also less people in the temple. He figured that due to the war the Jedi were spread out thin across the galaxy, leaving only the old and the young in the temple. The med center was also filled to the brim with injuried Jedi. Anakin strode across the hanger. He went to the lifts and pushed the button for his floor. He went to the floor where the master and padawan are roomed. He walked all the way to his room and started punching in the code. When the door refused to open, Anakin started to bang on the door. It took a small padawan to open the door to make Anakin remember that this wasn't his room anymore. "Master? What are you doing here master?" Asked the young alien padawan curiously. Anakin blushed lightly. "My mistake." As soon as he realized he blushed he fought to keep it off his face. He was a knight....well his future self was but still he was not a young padawan. He was a senior padawan. The young alien padawan smilied. "You were great Master Skywalker. I want to be like you." Those words touched Anakin's heart. He smilied boyishly. "Thank you." He bowed. "I must go. May the Force be with You." The padawan bowed as well. "May the Force be with you as well." Anakin turned and walked away. His mind singed in joy. He had the respect of the padawans. He was great! Or rather the future self of him was great. He went back to the lift and pushed the other button. As the lift went up he felt a familiar presence. The lift opened and Obi-Wan Kenobi walked in. Obi-Wan looked older but he aged gracefully. Also he felt powerful. Just by looking at him Anakin felt humbled. As a boy he knew Obi-Wan was powerful. Now he could feel the tightly controlled aura. "Anakin, where were you?" "I had something to do." Truth was he didn't know what he was doing or how he got here. He was burning to tell his master who he really was and how amazing this all was. "I see. The council needs a debriefing. You're late." "Oh. I am?" "Yes." Obi-Wan stared at Anakin. "Is something wrong?" "No master." Obi-Wan gave him a look. Anakin wilted. "Well.." He rubbed his head. "I needed to...think...that's all. " Eyebrows raised, Obi-Wan pushed another button on the lift. "I see." Anakin shrank into himself as the lift moved. He was doomed. Obi-Wan was surely able to see that he wasn't their Anakin but an imposter. This future Anakin was so powerful. So amazing. Anakin moped. How could he fill in such big shoes? The lift doors opened. -----signature----- "No, the book is wrong. This whole conclusion is fallacious. --Young River

	Older Anakin, Knight Anakin was resting. He would need all his strength for this. Facing Count Dooku and killing the Sith was his goal. He would end this, end the war and stop all the needless death. He was young, he had both arms. He will kill Dooku. Once the apprentice is dead, the Sith Master's plan would go awry. That was the plan. Anakin landed the ship, hidden from the Trade Federation's ships. He snuck into the tunnels, cloaking his force presence, making himself invisible. The first thing to do would to seperate Dooku from the others. Dooku's arrogance will his downfall. The second thing would to make Dooku fall into false sense of calm. The third would be an all out attack. Anakin knew that if he scared the Trade Federation's group to not attack the Republic, the clone wars will never happen. The Trade Federations were cowards, Anakin was sure that if he gives them Dooku's head they will not even dare mount an attack. The others may be harder to disuade but once one falls in the line, so will the others. Anakin hugged the walls of the tunnel. He had zeroed on Dooku's force presence and pinged it. He lead Dooku on a merry chase through the tunnels. He had Dooku, right where he wanted him. Now was the time of action. Sure he was afraid but he had to do his duty for the Jedi, for the Republic, for his sweet angel Padme. He steped out of the shadows. His lightsaber was gripped limply in his hand, just waiting to be activated. Dooku stared at him, shrewd eyes calculating. "What are you doing here Padawman?" Asked the cultured voice. "The Jedi Council should have sent a message beforehand of your arrival." Anakin flicked the lightsaber on. "I'm not here by the Council's behalf." He stepped closer. "I am here on the behalf of all the dead Jedi you Will kill." Dooku was only given a milisecond to ponder the thought before he dodged a vicious strike that would've split him in two. He turned his curved lightsaber on. The red light glowed faintly. A mere padawan should be easy to kill he thought to himself. He is reckless and his form is pathetic. Dooku gave a mocking salute. They then clashed. -----signature----- "No, the book is wrong. This whole conclusion is fallacious. --Young River

	Hello, I am liking this story. Please continue writing it, I can't wait to see what's going to happen. All I can hope is that Anakin (either of the two, actually...) won't do anything stupid, but then again, I've got a bad feeling about this. Can't wait to read more!!!

	Anakin looked down at the dead body cooling at his feet. Dooku was finally dead. For a long time, he just stared, not believing that he did it. He killed Dooku. Anakin smiled. He wasn’t happy that he pleased in the death, the murder but Anakin knew that by doing this distasteful act he was going to save millions of lives. The fight was hard, difficult and Anakin had to use all the tricks he knew to even get past Dooku’s guard. Knight Anakin knew what to do, knows how to kill Dooku. He had a plan. Before he even went on the planet he planned and made a strategy. He also rigged the factory he choosed as the battle place. It paid to be prepared. Before hand, he removed all the metal from his person except for his lightsaber. That was crucial. When Dooku and Anakin fought, Anakin kept Dooku off pace by switching forms and using the Force Push often. After a few skirmishes, Anakin lost his lightsaber, the hilt tumbling somewhere in the dark recesses of the factory. Dooku boasted and taunted Anakin, ready to skewer him. Luckily, Anakin had already rigged the area and activated the first of a few concussive charges. While Dooku was distracted, Anakin then activated the overhead magnet. His lightsaber slammed into the magnet and stayed there. Simultaneously, Anakin’s lightsaber flew out, activating as it went. In that one moment, Anakin turned the magnet off and directed his lightsaber right into Dooku. The blade sank into Dooku’s flesh, cutting his arm off. Dooku fell to his knees in pain, nursing his wound. To his credit, he didn’t pass out. “An arm for an arm.” Whispered Anakin as he called his lightsaber back to his hand, he leapt, ready to deliver the death blow. Amazingly, Dooku Force pushed Anakin away. Anakin had to flip in the air to catch himself from slamming into the wall. He bounced off the wall and back on the ground in a run. By that time Dooku had his lightsaber up and ready in guard stance in his one arm. The fight was easier now, with Dooku disadvantaged and injured, Anakin leveled heavy blows at Dooku. With each block, Dooku grew steadily weaker and weaker. He tried to run away, to escape and to recover. But Anakin wouldn’t let him. Even though he knew that anger was bad, Anakin willingly drew into this anger. His body was young and his spirit was old. Although he knew the moves his body was not disciplined, not as strong as his original. Fighting Dooku was hard, despite knowing all the moves Dooku could do. He tapped into the dark side for a brief second and used that brief instant of adrenaline and power to slice Dooku in half. He slipped under Dooku’s guard, kicked him in the face and swiped horizontally. Dooku wavered for a second before falling onto the ground, top half his body going one way and the other half going the other way. His deactivated lightsaber was still in his grasp, lifeless as he. Anakin took Dooku’s lightsaber and hooked it to his belt. He turned and walked away. The traitor didn’t deserve a funeral, he should rot here forever. Anakin walked back to his ship and flew away. It was a good plan, admittly. Sadly, Anakin did not notice, the blinking lights of security cameras following his every move. -----signature----- "No, the book is wrong.

	Thanks for the PM. That was fine! I wonder what problems Anakin of the past will create for Anakin of the future? Darth Sidious will not like that his protege is suddenly behind in development.
