The Chosen Voice (A star wars SI-ish/crack-ish fic)

[Alenco98]

The Senate building on Coruscant was one of the best guarded buildings on the planet if not the galaxy. With various units of heavily armed senate guards combined with state of the art turrets, cameras, motion sensors and cyber security apparatuses.

Unfortunately for the Senate security team they'd never dealt with a determined Anakin Skywalker. And with his Jedi training at hand these security measures proved no match for him as he easily got past all their security measures under everyone's notice.

Type that code on this line, the voice of Anakin echoed in his head. He typed it just as Anakin instructed and he was in. Lines of information came in, names, pictures, ages, identification documents, sex, height, species and other information that an identity thief would find useful. The personally identifiable information of every senator in the galactic senate as well as the supreme chancellor was now at his fingertips. If he chose to he could easily save this information and sell it on the black market for at least a few million credits.

Man you really are a genius sky guy. He wiped a small bead of sweat from his forehead as he went down the list, searching for the one name they both wanted.

Kriff you asshole. Don't call me Sky-guy.

Careful Sky-guy. Anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.

I'm not angry, I'm annoyed at your bantha-shit antics.

Whatever. He shrugged and continued searching. It was a peculiar situation, a few weeks ago he'd died from cancer, then he woke up in the body of Anakin Skywalker, Jedi prodigy and chosen one. And right before the start of attack of the clones.

Of course he didn't handle it well, Anakin nearly had a mental breakdown when he told him Palpatine was a sith lord. But there was nothing he could do about it yet, he was the supreme chancellor, and even if they told the Jedi they had no proof; and even if they went through with it and killed him Dooku was out there.

Thus capturing Dooku and making him confess was the best way, and the only chance in the foreseeable future was on Genosis, which meant he spent his days practicing lightsaber combat, unlike Anakin he knew he had no business fighting, so he settled on working only on form 3 and outlasting Dooku until Yoda came.

Right now he was working on winning Anakin's trust. Conveniently enough Anakin started having visions a few days ago of his mother's suffering and he had an idea. So now here he was, hacking into the Senate's database with Anakin's help.

How will this help my mom?

We need to give her and her family a new home to settle down in. We contact Padme, ask her to borrow her ship, go to Tatooine, rescue her then ask Padme to settle them down in Naboo. I mean you are a hero there right?

Fair point.

Exactly Sky Guy, that's why I keep telling you that you should trust me.

Don't kriffing call me sky guy!

Language young man, what would Shmi say?

Kriff you!

I'd rather Kriff Padme.

Keep her name out of your mouth!

Our mouth you mean, and believe me we'll get very close to her. He laughed as he continued searching the database. Finally he found her, here we go. Chomell sector, Amidala.

He got his datapad out, he typed furiously as he got all her personal information on his datapad. A minute later he was finished. Ok, now tell me how we can cover our tracks.

Fine, start by closing the program. See that symbol in the corner.

-

He was in his room, his Holo-computer was laid out in the center of his table. The room was an organized chaos, filled with various spare parts and droids Anakin personally made. He was a gearhead's gearhead. If he hadn't been enslaved and not a force sensitive he would have made a living as a mechanic.

Just sit back and relax Sky-guy, I have a PhD in emotional blackmail.

Don't call me that!

What are you gonna do? Force choke me? Jokes on you I like being choked.

Man you're kriffing weird.

Don't worry sky guy, you'll be force choking some Tusken soon so just relax. He input Padme's contact info and called her. His Holo-computer rang, 5 seconds, 10, 20. After a minute she finally answered.

"Hello? Who are you? How did you get my contact."

"Hello Senator Amidala, it's been a while. I'm Anakin Skywalker. I'm calling cause I'm in desperate need of help."

"Anakin? My you've grown. And of course, anything, what do you need?"

"My mom, I've been having visions of her lately. She's in pain, something is happening to her and I need to rescue her. I was hoping I could borrow your ship to go to Tatootine, then rescue her and hopefully settle her down on Naboo. Tatooine isn't exactly the safest place for most people, and hopefully I can help her."

"I see." She nodded and pondered for a moment. "Let me send you a few codes. These are the access codes for my personal ship on Coruscant. I'll let my security detail know you're coming and you can take the ship with you."

"Does it come with a medkit?"

"There's a medical chamber in the ship as well as a medical droid. There's probably a first aid kid there."

"Padme, you don't realize how much this means to me. If she's still alive I'll treat you to dinner in Dex's diner, my master says it's the best restaurant in the galaxy."

"Is that right?" She seemed to smile a little.

"You gotta come with me to find out."

"I'll take you up on that."

"Sounds like a plan, thank you for your help Padme, see you later." He ended the call. And smiled smugly. So Sky-guy, I got your ship and a potential date with Padme. What do you think about that?

I'd like you more if you stopped with that kriffing nickname.

Maybe one day......sky guy.

ARGH!!!!

Shut up, he yawned and made his way to his bed. He sat down and streched his arms. He laid down and closed his eyes, he called on the force to will himself to sleep. A few moments later he felt himself fall asleep then he woke up once again.

Anakin Skywalker stood up from the bed and sighed in relief. He still found it unsettling how he and the voice that dubbed himself Mike switched control of their bodies, but after a few weeks he was somewhat getting himself used to it. And he admitted the voice was very helpful. A few moments later his holocomputer beeped. He accessed it and saw a text message from Padme with the codes she promised. Let's go to the ship Sky-guy

He just wished he stopped with that shitty nickname as he turned off his holo computer and put it away in his backpack.

 

[Alenco98]

Sneaking in and out of the Jedi Temple was pretty easy all things considered. Then again, it seemed like the Jedi allowed Anakin to sneak in and out like this. He could feel the Jedi temple security guards seemingly tracking him through the force as he went through his usual routine through the air ducts. He didn't bring many things for this trip, he had a backpack filled with a few probe droids for laser training, training swords, as well as clothes, and behind him was a modified combat training droid the voice dubbed Vader which for some reason felt eerily unsettling yet familiar when he used that name.

I've been meaning to ask, how long have you been sneaking out of the temple for? I know we've been doing it every night since I appeared in your head, what about before?

Give me a moment. He stopped for a moment to ponder. A year or two after I arrived.

Really?

Yeah. He continued on his way out.

I expected you'd be pretty popular at the temple back then like you are right now.

It wasn't always that way. Anakin seemed felt uncomfortable for a moment.

If you don't want to talk about it it's fine you know. Though I admit I am curious.

Honestly I never really fit in, he said. They put me in with all the younglings. The lessons were boring and I zoomed through them, all while I sensed envy and disdain from the other younglings. I usually spent my days locked up in my room after lessons.

That hit hard, it was one thing for the Jedi to leave his mother as a slave. But to just let him be isolated from his pupils like that. It just made him angrier at the Jedi, these people basically dropped the ball and the galaxy suffered for it.

Jesus that sounds kriffed up. What about now man?

It's not so bad, like you said I'm fairly popular at the temple. They all like me. But honestly, I still feel disconnected from a lot of them.

Like they only admire you for your abilities and not for you?

He stopped again, they were a few feet away from the exit to the central AC unit of the temple. You know when you're not calling me by that stupid name you make a good point.

What can I say I'm good with people. Something the Jedi seemed to severely lack.

Fair point.

He opened the AC duct with the force and exited. They made their way to one of the various service tunnels, entering it they found another tunnel which led them to the sewers. Using the force Anakin parted the water and they walked through the sewers until they reached their usual exit, he called upon the force one more time and the exit opened.

They emerged from a sewer within a back-alley on the second highest level of Coruscant. Anakin dusted himself off and they went onto the main street. Even though he wasn't in control of Anakin's body he could feel everything Anakin felt emotionally, physically and within the force. Trillions of beings populated Couroscant, they were like little embers in the force, little embers that surrounded the massive bonfire that was the Jedi temple. Though unfortunately he couldn't look around as he wasn't in control right now.

Anakin pulled out his wallet, he had a few hundred credits, a far cry from yesterday. He walked to the nearest street corner and pressed a button. A few minutes later an air taxi came. Inside a Twi'lek was piloting it.

"Where to?"

"The Senate building please." The Twi'lek looked at him for a moment.

"Jedi huh? Hop in." The Twi'lek opened the door and they entered. It was a quiet 30 minute ride. The Twi'lek played some Couroscanti pop music that oddly reminded him of 80s Jpop music. After asking him the artist name he told Anakin to get onto his portable holocomputer and look her up, he had Anakin save a few of her songs onto the Holonet version of Spotify after forcing him to make an account.

You have an odd taste in music.

So?

This stuff is literally for teenage girls.

Kriff you it's good.

Suuuuure. He rolled his eyes and chucked as the voice seemingly sighed in defeat.

The taxi finally came to a stop in front of the Senate building, he glanced at the fare meter which showed a balance of 35 credits. He pulled out his wallet and handed the Twi'lek the credits. "Thank you for your time Jedi."

"May the force be with you."

"Likewise." The taxi then sped off while they walked into the Senate building.

They descended down to the hangar and input the access codes Padme gave them. They of course worked and they made their way in.

Kriff me these ships are all state of the art. They must have cost hundreds of thousands, no millions of credits. He could sense Anakin's inner gearhead bust a nut as he stared at all the ships.

I mean they're senators, they're rich. Anyways remember your mission, Tatooine, mom.

My bad. Anakin seemed to recenter himself and they went to Padme's ship. Conveniently enough it was the same Nubian they used back in episode one. Anakin entered the access code one again and he was in. The ship was devoid of staff, however, as Anakin went to the kitchen to grab some juice he noticed the fridge had seemingly been recently re-stocked.

God I love Padme, looking out for us. Can't wait to sleep with her.

What are you saying?! He was flustered of course, then again Padme always flustered him.

What are you so upset about? You're no virgin Skyguy, at least thanks to me.

Only cause you sneak off at night and go to gambling dens, brothels and nightclubs.

I got needs man what can I say? And hey, its good experience, once you're with Padme she'll be addicted to you.

Its not right man.

What is? Sex?

No. Using the force during it, I know what you do, you amplify their feelings, you're literally making them addicted to us.

So?

SO?! That's wrong!

I don't care.

Kriff me you're an asshole man. He took the jug of juice and took a sip.

Palpatine is an asshole, I'm harmless.

You mean Sidious? He put the juice back in the fridge and closed it.

What did I say? Don't even think about him, if he even suspects we know then we are fucked with a capital F. He is dangerous, not even Yoda can beat him.

How can you be so sure, those force visions you say you had can't be the truth. He made his way out of the room and to the main deck where the ship controls were.

Believe me man, Palpatine right now is the most dangerous man in the galaxy, we need to avoid him at all costs until we're ready.

Then what? He turned on the ship, inputting the codes Padme gave him and watched as the ship was cleared then was lifted up towards one of the many takeoff hangars in the senate building.

What do you mean then what? Then we kill him.

I mean, I know that, but then what? What do we do?

I don't know man, what do you want to do? Take over the galaxy?

Would you help me with that if I wanted to?

I mean I have nothing else to do, I am you in a way. Do you want to?

I don't know. He shrugged as the ship came to a halt and the hangar doors opened. He turned on the ship and it slowly began to ascend. What I do know is the current system doesn't work and that something needs to change.

Amen to that brother. Anakin punched the engine and the ship left the senate building.

 

[Alenco98]

"Oww!" He rubbed his knee where Vader struck him with the training sword. It was to be expected, the robot was programmed by Anakin. Of all things it seemed Anakin programmed it to fight using form 7, the most aggressive of the lightsaber forms. He'd asked his master how Maul fought and had seen Windu spar with other Jedi hundreds if not thousands of time, it was no surprise of course that Anakin had managed to pick up the fundamentals of form 7 just by doing that.

"I am curious though, why didn't you ever use this form 7?" He didn't know lightsaber combat had forms until he even came here, though it explained a lot of things.

The Jedi say its too aggressive and leads to passion. And well, you know the code by now.

"Honestly I'd say its perfect for you, you're naturally an aggressive person."

Anakin didn't say anything, in fact, he felt rather offended. I try not to be ok!?

"Sorry if I struck a nerve man. I'm just saying, you're physically strong, and your aptitude in the force is honestly second to none going by your midichlorian count. If you mastered form 7 to the extent Mace did you'd be a killing machine." He shook the pain off and moved around a little.

Jedi aren't supposed to kill.

"And they spent thousands of years killing Sith, and any other enemies of the republic. I read the histories in the archive you know."

That was different, they were defending the republic.

"Just because it was in self defense they still killed. But they didn't fall to the darkside. Sometimes some people just need to be put down."

The code says fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.

"Then just don't be afraid I guess." He shrugged. "Don't be afraid of killing, don't be afraid of being too aggressive. As long as you aren't afraid, you wont go through that chain reaction. I don't know man I'm just saying."

But what if I do?

"Its a part of life man, I've been afraid in my old life, I've been angry, I've hated. But sometimes you just gotta let go you know, forgive, calm down, face your fear. I remember reading this one book where one of the main characters said bravery is being afraid and confronting your fear anyways. Yeah." He nodded. "Brave, you need to be brave. Face your fear, don't be afraid to be aggressive."

Fair point I guess, What was the name of the book?

"A game of thrones."

What happened to the character?

"He died, but his death led to a war and his family avenged him. Anyways I should probably train, Vader, combat mode, level 2."

"Yes sir." The droid beeped and its eyes turned red, it raised its training sword and it began raining down blows on him.

A few hours later the voice fell asleep and he switched out with him. Like it suggested to him he began to try out form 7. To his shock it felt.....right, he was accustomed to using form 5, finding it well suited for his needs but he always felt there was something missing, something that prevented him from pushing further. But form 7 felt perfect, the aggression, the chaos, the sheer emotion he felt when channeling it. He sat down to medidate shortly after the sparring session.

So.....how do you feel?

Anakin took a deep breath and looked within himself. Better.

Better?

Yeah, better. Calmer I guess. Calmer than I've ever felt in years.

Huh? That's odd. Well that's good I guess. Keep meditating I guess. I remember when I did meditation I was told to acknowledge my emotions then let go.

You meditated?

I dated this girl in college that was into spirituality and other weird shit. Crazy in the shack. Made a good point about meditation though so I picked up good stuff, asides from kinks.

Shut up. He chuckled as he focused.

For the next 2 days as they traveled to Tatooine they trained whenever they took control, Anakin trained in form 7 while the voice trained in form 3. As the voice parried a strike by Vader a beeping sound emerged. "Attention, arriving at Tatooine. Landing ETA 10 minutes."

"Vader, stop."

"Yes master." The robot said as it was about to land an overhead strike on him.

"Ready to save your mom?"

Hell yes.

They went over to the control room, sitting down on the pilots seat as he directed the ship to land with Anakin's instructions. They flew over Tatooine, Shmi had a force bond with Anakin and they were able to close in on Shmi's location. They landed a few kilometers from Shmi's location. He got up from his seat and went to the medical bay where he took the medkit. He then went to the weapons room where he handed a vibrosword to Vader.

"Guard the ship Vader."

"Yes master." The robot nodded as he began to make his way out of the ship, taking the keys with him to ensure no one took the ship.

He emerged from the ship, medkit in hand and immediately wiped sweat off his brow. "Fuck this planet man its too hot."

Tell me about it.

They walked towards the Sand Person camp, he regretted not waiting until night but he felt his mother's pain vividly the closer he got. Even though he wasn't related to her Anakin was, and since they shared the same body she might as well be his mother.

We're just going to walk in?

"We're Jedi, it'll be like crushing ants."

Fair enough.

A few minutes later they were at the entrance of the sand person camp, they immediately roared and began to shoot at him. Fortunately for him since he was trained in form 3 he easily deflected the blasts, causing them to land squarely on their heads and causing them to collapse on the ground. A few moments later more sand people emerged, armed with a mix of gaffis and rifles; they were no match for him to their misfortune, blaster bolt came at him, and blaster bolts were reflected towards them, killing them while the Tusken armed with melee weapons simply died at the point of his lightsaber.

In the space of 5 minutes the village was filled with dead Tusken raiders with the exception of a few women and the children. He glanced around, searching for his mother in the force and finding her force precense in a nearby tent. He walked towards it, opening it and finding his mother bloodied and bruised while tied up in a makeshift cross.

Mom!

He went towards Shmi, gently untying her from her cross and laying her down on the floor. She opened her eyes for a moment and looked at him. "Who are you?" She said weakly.

He put his right hand on her belly and focused, calling on the force and feeling her out. "Several broken bones, muscle tears, some internal bleeding. But not beyond saving. Just give me a minute mom." He smiled at her then put his right hand on her head. "Sleep." She closed her eyes then he opened the medkit. He took a deep breath and focused, calling on the force once again. He closed his eyes and touched the medkit with his right arm, a moment later something called to him and he grabbed one of the many tools within the medkit.

For the next 10 minutes the force guided him, he used the myriad tools to stabilize his mother, patching up her wounds, setting her broken bones and healing the internal bleeding. He opened his eyes, finding that Shmi Skywalker's skin had regained its color.

I'm all done here, you handle it now Skyguy. He laid down on the floor and willed himself to sleep with the force. A moment later Anakin skywalker opened his eyes, then he moved to embrace his mom as he cried tears of joy. "Thank you." He whimpered. "Thank you Mike."

Anytime man, don't sweat it. And with that, the voice now had Anakin's undying devotion and loyalty.

 

[Alenco98]

His mom woke up after a few minutes of his crying and looked at him. "Ani? Ani is that you?"

He sniffed a little then looked at her, "Its me mom, I'm here."

"I knew....you'd come."

Lets get her out of here man, her wounds are stabilized but she needs medical care.

You're right.

"Come on mom, we're getting out of here." He stood up and carried her with him, then proceeded to place her down so he could place his arm around her and get his other things. He strapped his lightsaber back on his belt and took the medkit back. They walked out into the camp where the remaining Tusken raiders looked at them with a mix of awe and fear.

"You did this?"

"I did mom."

"You didn't have to go so far."

Man she's kind even to her enemies. She's too good for this world. Just tell her you walked in and they attacked you.

"I walked into the camp and they started attacking me, its to be expect-" He felt something and stopped, it was a force presence, raw and unpolished, but a force prescence no less.

Never heard of a force sensitive Tusken.

Neither have I.

He wont be happy, you know what to do. Put her to sleep so she doesn't have to watch.

Got it.

"Anakin, is everything ok?"

He put down the medkit and put his free hand on her head, "Sleep."

She slumped down and slept again, he gently laid her down on the ground and drew his lightsaber. A minute later what looked like a child arrived in the camp, he could sense his fear, his anger, his hatred, his suffering. The boy looked at him and on instinct shot out lightning. Block with your lightsaber!

He activated his lightsaber and intercepted the blast, using the force to concentrate the lightning on his blade. A few seconds passed and the lightning stopped while the child seemingly collapsed from exhaustion.

He's just a kid.

And if he lives I bet your ass he will unite the Tusken tribes and cause trouble in Tatooine, just kill him and everyone else here. But remember, pretend as if you're chopping up vegetables or cutting a steak. Don't let your feelings take over.

He took a deep breath and relaxed, he pictured himself in the temple kitchen in the middle of the night and cooking a late night snack. He leaped using the force, cutting off the child's head. He glanced around at the remaining sand people and did the same. Just breathe man, its ok, chopping vegetables.

He leapt again, cutting down every remaining man, woman and child he hadn't gotten his hands on the first time around. A minute later the camp was empty, only his mom's unconscious body sprawled out on the floor. He strapped his lightsaber back onto his belt and carried her along with his medkit.

He called on the force once he stepped out of the camp, amplifying his speed to that he could reach the ship in a few minutes. He activated the ship, Vader as he ordered stood on the ramp.

"Greetings master, and who is the human you are carrying?"

"Shmi Skywalker, my mother, go the medical room and activate the medical droids immediately."

"As you wish."

Vader ever the good droid followed orders and activated the medical droids. Anakin laid her down on the table and watched as they began to operate on her. He'd done a good job repairing the wounds she'd sustained which made the Droid's job easier. An hour later Shmi Skywalker had been fully operated on, he placed his hands on her, the broken bones, internal bleeding, ruptured organs, broken ligaments, and torn muscle tissue had been repaired and she was good as new. We just need to erase her memories of this, do you know how to do that?

I don't sadly.

Man she'll need some therapy after this then.

Tell me about it.

He called on the force once again, waking her up.

He watched her sit up then look around the ship. "Where am I?"

"A ship I borrowed from the former Queen of Naboo."

"Queen of Naboo?"

"Its a long story, basically, right after I left Tatooine master Qui Gon took me to Naboo and I got into a starfighter and destroyed a trade federation ship that was controlling a droid army that had invaded Naboo."

She looked at him in disbelief, I heard some Holos about a fight in Naboo and Qui Gon having been killed. But I didn't realize you played a big role. I'm so proud of you." She went over and hugged him while Anakin cried tears of joy again.

Sabor the moment man, remember the feelings you held here when fighting the enemy, love will make you stronger than any Jedi. Also ask her where her home is? I know she was freed but I don't know where she lives.

"Anyways mom." He pulled back. "Where do you live? I had to use the force to track you down."

"Ohh, let me show you." She got off the bed and he helped her get to the deck of the ship. Once inside Anakin turned on the engines and they took off. They flew towards Anchorhead, it was one of the smaller settlements on Tatooine, having been reestablished around 80 years ago after being abandoned by the Czerka corporation thousands of years ago. He'd only heard stories of it, that it served to cater to the moisture farmers around the Jundland wastes. They flew for around a half hour until Shmi pointed down to one of the farms, "There." She said. Skywalker circled around the farm then landed on a clearing near the farmstead. He noticed several dozen armed men looking at the ship as it landed. "It seems Clegg was getting some men."

Time for a touching reunion I guess.

Shut up.

"Clegg?"

"My husband, he freed me a few years ago and we got married."

"Does he treat you well? Does he hurt you?"

"Goodness no Ani, he's a kind man, his son is a gem to be around as well. I think you two will get along wonderfully."

"I hope we do." The ship came to a stop and he opened the door. "Lets go mom."

A minute later they walked out of the ship. "Vader, stay inside, no need to protect the ship."

"Yes master."

As they stepped onto the ground he felt someone's extreme happiness as they approached Shmi. "Shmi? Shmi is that you?"

"Clegg, its me!" Shmi ran to embrace the man, he was around his own height and he felt that he loved Shmi deeply as they embraced for about a minute. Clegg then looked at him.

"Shmi who is this man?"

"This is my son Anakin, the Jedi, the one I talked to you about."

"Huh," He stared at him and seemingly nodded in approval as he walked out and stretched his hand out. "Its good to finally meet you son. And believe me when I say you have my undying gratitude for rescuing her."

"Its nothing, anyone would have done the same for their mother."

"That's a pretty fancy ship there son, do all Jedi get ships like that?"

"I had to call in a favor from someone actually. You ever hear of the queen of Naboo?"

"Queen of what?"

Tell him you'll explain over dinner, I'm hungry after all this child murder.

"I think its best if I explain over dinner."

"And that's how we saved a planet." Anakin looked around for a moment as his family gave him an awed look.

"You've been through a lot." Shmi said as she looked at him with a mix of concern and pity.

It was quite enlightening honestly, and it explained a lot of Anakin's character; especially this Ferus Olin guy. I made a mental list to look for him during the clone wars, if I could recruit him to my side to help me fight Sidious it would be all the better.

"It's fine. Looking back on it I think Olin was right. Especially with everything that happened on Korriban."

At least you admitted it, facing your mistakes is a good first step.

Thanks man.

"Jeez kid, that sounds like a tough life." Clegg Lars interjected. "You know, you don't have to go back to these Jedi. You have a home here, it honestly doesn't sound like a place anyone should be raised by, it's more like a cult."

He's not wrong either.

"I.......I know." He nodded. "But giving all that up, my master, the few friends I have. My destiny according to the Jedi."

"This chosen one stuff sounds like a load of Bantha crap." Owen said. "Yeah the force is powerful and all like you said. But putting all that pressure on someone, I don't know Anakin."

"Ma-" his Holo-computer began to beep. He took it out of his backpack and saw the originating message and sighed. "It's my master. Can I set it on the table Mr. Lars?"

"Go for it kid."

He placed the holocomputer on the table and answered. "Hi master."

"Anakin." Obi wan said in a concerned tone. "Where are you? You've been gone from the temple for almost 3 days."

Just tell him the truth, he's your master he cares about you.

But if I tell him about the sand people I'll be expelled from the order.

So? You have a family outside the order, and I'm sure you can ask Padme for a job as a bodyguard so you won't be a homeless bum, just be true to yourself and your master.

I hope you're right.

"Tatooine. I had visions of my mother in pain. I went there and found she was kidnapped and tortured by the Tusken raiders. So I stormed into the camp and rescued her."

"Anakin....." There was worry in his master's voice. But at the same time it was relief. "Anakin, you know this is against the rules. I understand you went into the order when you were older than most younglings. But I will have to report this to the council. When will you be back?"

"I'm not sure. I borrowed a ship from Padme and asked for her to help me resettle my mom on Naboo. But I didn't expect her to be married and with a family so I need to call her again."

"How did you even get Padme's contact info?"

"Hacked into the Senate building."

"Anakin." Obi wan sighed in frustration. "More to report to the council I guess. Do what you need to do then come back to Coruscant as soon as possible."

"Yes master." He turned off the transmission and the call ended.

"It really does seem like a cult." Beru interjected. "What's wrong with being in contact with family, or rescuing them?"

She's not wrong either.

Ok fine, they have a point.

You should tell them about Naboo.

Fine.

He looked over to Mr. Lars. "Mr. Lars, like I just said in the call. I have some influence with the former queen of the planet, and she and I are both popular in the world. I can probably arrange for you all to be resettled there on a small estate, it's a safe world in the Mid Rim, not too far from Tatooine. And most importantly you'd be safe from Tusken Raiders. Would you be interested?"

"The mid rim huh?" Clegg contemplated it for a moment. "Owen, Shmi, would you two be ok with it?"

"I wouldn't mind." Shmi answered." If it means being closer to Anakin and bringing him peace of mind then of course."

"I like the idea, but I don't want to abandon Beru." He glanced over at her, he could feel the love between Owen and Beru.

Just tell them to get married, you can sense they love each other, hell I can sense it too.

"You two could get married." He interjected. "I can sense the love between you two. You're meant to be."

Beru blushed as she looked away from Owen. Tell Owen you sense that she wants to be with him. EMOTIONALLY MANIPULATE MAN DO IT!!

"I can sense she wants to be with you brother, you'll have everything you need in Naboo to give her a good life. On my honor as a Jedi."

Owen looked at him then back at Beru. "Beru, do you wanna get married?"

"Yes! Yes!" She ran to him and kissed him passionately.

"Time to plan a wedding," Shmi said.

"I'll buy the cake." Clegg said shortly after.

"I need to call Padme."

He input her contact info on the holocomputer and called. A minute later she answered. "Ani?"

"Hey Padme. Good news, my mom is safe, here." He input a few commands and the holocomputer included Shmi's image onto the call.

"I remember you." Shmi said. "You were the handmaiden that was with Qui Gon. If I known you were the queen I would have served a better meal."

"Don't sweat it Mrs. Skywalker, you've done more than enough by raising Anakin right. Did he tell you what he did for Naboo?"

"He did, and I couldn't be prouder."

She came over and played with his hair while he laughed.

Wholesome.

Shut up I'm having a moment. Shmi stopped after a few seconds and Anakin cleared his throat. "I called because I need to modify a few things about mom's living arrangements on Naboo."

"Sure, what happened?"

"My mom is married now and she helps to run a small moisture farm. I was hoping you'd help settle down her family in Naboo as well, and perhaps provide them a small farm to work on."

"Sure, I can have the Queen give them a small estate."

"An estate?" Clegg asked. "That's insane, maintenance alone would ruin me."

"Who was that?"

"That was Mr. Lars, my mom's husband."

"No need to fret Mr. Lars. The royal family would gladly provide you with a yearly stipend to help with costs as well as a settling in allowance. Believe me when I say my world owes your stepson a great debt, no relative of Anakin will ever go hungry on Naboo."

Anakin pressed a few buttons and Clegg's projection was now on the call. "I see, apologies for the outburst your majesty. I appreciate the gesture."

"No worries. And Anakin."

"Yes?"

"I would like to meet your family in person and have them share a meal with my own. When will you all arrive?"

He looked over at Clegg. "A few days." He answered. "Just need to sell the farm and have my son marry is all, then a farewell party."

"I see. I will be leaving for Coruscant in 2 weeks time to vote on a bill in the galactic senate so I hope you can join us."

"It would be my pleasure." Clegg answered.

Anakin then ended the call and felt like he was 10 thousand feet tall. He'd saved his mother, was going to meet the woman of his dreams and best of all, his family would be safe.

-

The planet Naboo looked like a small green dot as they emerged from Hyperspace. It hadn't taken too long to get their affairs in orders, selling the farm, marrying Owen and Beru then hosting a celebration/farewell party.

He pressed a few buttons on the ship as they got closer to Naboo. He got into contact with Theed spaceport.

"Theed Spaceport this is Royal one requesting permission for landing."

"Royal one? Skywalker is that you?"

"This is Anakin Skywalker yes."

"Port 113 is ready for you. Take her down when you're ready. The queen and Senator Amidala are waiting for you."

"Thank you." He glanced at his mother and her family and he turned off the comms. "See what I mean, I'm popular here on Naboo."

"Well I'll admit I was skeptical." Clegg Lars said. "Good for you son."

"Thanks dad." It felt weird calling him that, but it was the truth." He grabbed the controls and gently descended down through the atmosphere, a minute later they were overflying Theed.

Man it looks better in person.

Didn't know you were into architecture.

I'm not, can't a guy just admire a city?

Fair point.

He flew down onto the spaceport, gently setting her down on the specified platform. He turned off the ship and glanced back at his family. "Welcome to Naboo."

They got their possessions and descended from the ship along with Vader and Threepeio. Just as the space traffic controller for Theed spaceport said, Padme and the queen were waiting for him with an honor guard.

Keep cool man, I know you've been in love with her for years. But KEEP, IT, COOL!

You try meeting the only woman you've loved after 10 years asshole.

Bitch just calm down.

Don't call me a bitch, asswipe.

Wow, you learned something other than kriff.

Who do you think taught me? Cunt.

He walked towards Padme and her group with his family behind him. "Senator, your majesty." He bowed his head slightly.

"Ani no need to be so formal." Padme laughed as she looked at him, "my you've grown."

I focused on Padme, I could feel she found Anakin attractive. She thinks you're hot bro, keep at it.

Really?

Yes, now calm down.

"Thank you Padme, this right here is my family." He turned to his mom and her family and she went to greet them.

"It's a pleasure to meet you all."

"Likewise Padme." Shmi went to shake her hand but he could tell she and the whole family felt very awkward. Then again, they were basically commoners meeting a senator.

"Shall we go to the palace? I believe we never did get to properly honor Anakin after his deeds all those years ago."

"Of course, we would be honored." Shmi said as Padme motioned for us to follow her.

They paraded us through the streets of Theed. It seemed word spread of our coming and the people wanted to see us. They treated us like rockstars, cheering for us as they saw us pass. Most of all a lot of the women over in Theed found us attractive.

Might I advise you to seduce a few handmaidens and servants.

What the kriff, why?!

So you can make Padme jealous. Make it obvious you're sleeping around.

How the hell will that help us?!

I don't know man, I just find making people jealous makes them want you more. Just use the force man.

No.

What do you mean no?!

No! I only want Padme, I don't want anyone else.

But Anakin you sh-

No! And that's final.

Fine. Asshole.

Kriff you too.

Dinner was a decadent affair, a multi course meal consisting of the finest dishes and wines Naboo could bring to bear. Naboo was despite it's relatively isolated position in the mid rim a rather wealthy world and the culinary arts were as heavily regarded here as was architecture and art, with Naboo blasting some of the finest chefs in the galaxy.

Fuck me that was amazing. The voice rubbed his belly as Anakin finished his last meal.

Tell me about it.

Ask for seconds.

Nah I'm full.

Come on!

No.

Fuck You, I mean kriff you.

Rude.

Anyways, if you want to spend more time with her tell her you had a vision of an assassination attempt on her. I'm not lying though man, it's going to happen soon, and with the changes we've made she might need us by our side.

What do you mean by changes.

Well.....how do I explain it. You remember how I told you I came from a galaxy far far away in the future?

Well, yeah.

You see, originally your mom was supposed to die. You came too late, but with me at your side you rescued her. However, when you originally came you came with Padme.

Why with Padme?

Because you and Obi Want were assigned to protect her by Sidious, well Palpatine but you get what I mean.

Why would he want us to protect her?

He wants to seduce you to the darkside. And what best way to do it that by putting you close to the woman you love and killing her? You'd give into your anger then boom.

That fucking bastard! He gripped his lightsaber tightly. He kept a cool stoic face at the dinner table but he wanted to explode.

Calm down Sky-guy. Like I said, we're with her now. We can protect her. So you are going to listen to me and tell her you had visions and stay by her side, ok?

Fine.

"Senator. A word with you in private."

"Sure Ani." She got up and left the room and he followed her. They found themselves in a hallway right outside the dining room. "What is it Ani?"

"You remember how I told you I had visions of my mom suffering?"

"I did."

"I had more visions now."

"Of what?"

Your ship exploding when it arrives on Coruscant. Say it and follow the script I tell you.

"Your ship exploding when it arrives on Coruscant."

Tell her someone that looks like her or one of her handmaidens died in the explosion.

"In the vision, I saw someone that looked like you die in the explosion. I'm not sure if it was you, or one of the handmaidens. But I can sense someone is plotting against you."

I'm not asking you to not go to Coruscant. But to allow me to escort you back.

"I'm not asking you to not go to Coruscant. But to allow me to escort you back."

He could feel the concern Padme had. And the appreciation she felt for this information. And deep down the attraction she felt. Use the force, amplify her attraction for you.

Fine. He reached out towards the force, sending it towards Padme and twitching his right pinky finger to get it to work. He felt it reaching deep into Padme's heart, the attraction she felt was seemingly inflamed and on the brink of exploding.

More.

Anakin did so. And Padme just continued looking at him. "I appreciate what you bought up. I would love to have you escort me back."

Say, no need for quarters. I can always sleep on the floor of your room. Unless you want me to keep your bed warm. Smile then Amplify her attraction using then force.

"No need for quarters. I can always sleep on the floor of your room. Unless you want me to keep your bed warm?" He smiled and did as the voice said while dying of cringe inside. Padme meanwhile seemed to melt and she stared deep into his soul.

Now kiss.

He leaned forward and kissed her.

Capture phase is complete Sky-guy. Enjoy.

For context

This text = Anakin speaking and thinking
This text = The voice speaking and thinking.

The Varykino countryside estate that the Naberrie family called home was a lovely estate deep within the Naboo countryside. When Padme heard of the Skywalker family and their little dilemma on Tatooine, she immediately petitioned the queen to Partition a small plot of land within the countryside to be set aside for the Skywalkers.

An estate was currently being built in the traditional Naboo style and would take a few weeks to bet set up. In the meantime, the Skywalker's were treated as honored guests within the Naberrie estate.

Anakin Skywalker meanwhile woke up next to Padme. In the week since they'd arrived they'd shared a bed every night and the two had been inseparable. No one said a word however, that an esteemed war hero and a beloved former queen were in a relationship was seem as a natural fact of life.

God she's a freak in the shack. You got good taste Sky-guy.

Shut up.

Come on, you enjoy it too. And it's not like she's cheating on you. We share the same body after all.

But you do that thing with your tongue down there. Poop comes out of there, it's gross.

It's hot.

He got off the bed and stretched for a moment. He went and got changed into simple robed and stepped out onto the large balcony besides their room. Vader stood there, having been turned off last night. He pressed a few buttons and he came to life.

Anyways time to work out.

"Vader, combat simulator, level 3."

"Yes master."

A few moments later Vader came to life. He sprang at him, coming at him with a mix of forms 4-7, the aggressive style pushing him back.

He immediately got into form 3 and began defending, weathering the barrage of strikes and countering with his own. He was going to get past level 3 today no matter what.

Form 3 had been the next logical step in lightsaber combat. Eschewing the 1 on 1 combat form 2 was focused on and focusing on a mix of anti blaster defense and defending against an enemy lightsaber combatant.

It was a very simplistic form, and a master of the form could even hold off hundreds of blaster wielding enemies at once. Though he didn't like testing out it's limits yet. For now however, holding off against Vader was hard enough. He felt his forearms slowly going numb as Vader rained down a barrage of blows. He used the force to soothe the pain he felt while looking for an opening.

Form 3 wasn't the only form the voice learnt, he drilled with a few basic Makashi slashes and stabs, and since he felt what Anakin felt had in a way learnt the basics of form 7 as well.

He found a gap within Vader, raining down his own barrage of form 7 slashes and pushing him back for a moment, only for Vader to catch his footing when he overstretched and pushed him back again.

They repeated this back and forth until he finally found a gap, exploiting it and parrying one of Vader's strikes. He pounced, getting past his defenses and landing a strike on his neck. Vader stopped immediately after that, "fatal wound delivered. Congratulations, you have graduated from level 3."

He gasped for air and collapsed in exhaustion. "I did it!" He yelled in between breaths.

Not bad, you're getting better.

What do you expect Sky-guy, you're the chosen one, I just make good use of your body. Especially when I'm the one taking a turn with Padme.

Ohh Kriff you.

He slowly got up and collected himself. As he turned to head back in he noticed padme standing at the entrance that led to their room from the balcony.

"How long were you watching sexy?"

"Ani, stop that." She blushed. "A few minutes."

"Glad to have an admirer." He walked past her and spanked her. "I'm going to shower, wanna join me?" He stripped down, leaving his clothes on the floor, his naked body facing her and he felt himself getting a little chubby down there.

Padme stripped as well and walked past him as she brushed Ani Jr. with her hand.

He emerged from the shower around a half hour later. He dried himself off as Padme cleaned herself off.

Bro check it out it's dripping down her leg.

It's not funny.

Come on man, we're literally the same person.

How would you feel if someone else was making love to the woman you love?

Buddy we are literally sharing the same body. She thinks she's only fucking one dude.

Well she's not!

Ani calm down you're overreacting. Think of this as my helpers fee. Need I remind you I helped you save your mom, and I helped you seduce the senator. Hell I even let you have her the first time around.

God you're such an asshole. She's mine!

And she is yours, we, are, sharing, a, body. Relax man.

Whatever just get changed.

He returned to his chambers, finding a change of freshly cleaned clothes. He put them on and went to check his Holo-computer, finding a missed call from his master.

Ohh great, he's going to be angry.

Whatever, he shrugged. We're probably going to be expelled from the order. It'll be better for us that way.

So we can get closer to Sidious.

Precisely.

Your call, I just don't like it honestly. If he's as dangerous as you say I'd be getting the hell out of his sight.

We need to kill him anyways. If he and Dooku die the coming war will end. He pressed a few buttons and called Obi wan. A minute passed, and his image appeared on the screen.

"Master."

"Anakin. Has your business on Tatootine concluded?"

"It has, though something else came up."

"Anakin, you're already on thin ice with the council after what I told you. You need to come back."

"What if I don't want to?"

"What?" He seemed aghast. "Anakin, the Jedi order is your life. You can't just not return, you're the chosen one."

"It's not my life. I have a family, and a girlfriend."

"What do you mean girlfriend?"

"Senator Amidala. I've been pretty busy so to speak." He winked at him and could feel his exasperation.

"Anakin," he shook his head. "This goes against everything the code teaches us."

I don't like seeing him so disappointed.

Well we have a life too, the Jedi aren't that important. Saving the galaxy from Sidious is.

"Well, then maybe the order should have rescued my mom. Instead of letting her languish in slavery. If I am the chosen one then maybe the order could have at least treated my mom with the courtesy of being the chosen one's mother. But what do you all do? You abandon her. Let me tell you exactly what happened when I got there."

He went on and told him about the visions, his mother's rescue, the state she was in and the subsequent massacre of the sand people. "It wasn't just the men master, but the women, and the children too. They were animals, and I slaughtered like animals. I didn't hate them, but I didn't feel anything either, I just wanted my mom back. The order failed me, how about you tell them that."

His master was at a loss for words, "Anakin. I'm...... I'm sorry. You're right I suppose, the order failed you. I failed you. I will report this to the council, I feel you're veering very close to the dark side. Please, come back to the temple when you return from Coruscant. Please, let me help you at least, you're my brother."

Well that's unexpected. He does care.

I mean he is my master, he practically raised me.

The rest of the Jedi will call for your expulsion though. Maybe not Yoda.

Well like you said, we need to get close to Sidious.

Glad to have you aboard.

"Thank you master, I'll be returning with Padme." He turned off the transmission. He looked back and saw Padme emerging from the bathroom.

"What happened Ani?"

"My master. I told him what happened on Tatooine."

"Everything? Even the massacre of the Tuskens?"

"I did." He nodded. "They'll probably expel me from the order honestly. It'll be fine." He shrugged. "If they expel me we can get married." He called on the force, wiggling his pinky finger to amplify the feelings of love she held for him.

"Really? You'd....you want us to marry?"

"You're the only woman I'd love to spend the rest of my life with."

She ran to him and kissed him. "Yes....yes...of course I accept."

And like that, she will be Mrs. Skywalker

Thanks man.

No problem. Glad to see you're not all high and mighty about using the force to manipulate people.

Well you did teach me to do that.

Ahhh corrupting the youth.

A few days later, the Naberries and Skywalker's along with Obi Wan stood in a courtyard overlooking the lake next to the Naberrie estate. Maxiron Agolerga, a local holy man stood in front of them as they kissed once he finished the rites of marriage per the traditions of Naboo.

He'd received a message from the Jedi council the day before his wedding ordering him back to Coruscant. But he was past caring at this point. He told them he was marrying Senator Amidala and had submitted his official resignation from the order. He even invited Obi Wan to come to the wedding which he surprisingly did.

Both families and even Obi Wan clapped for him. Though he could sense Obi Wan was saddened by his decision.

"Sorry for not being able to speak to you directly master. It's been a little hectic." He said once the ceremony ended and they were in the living room of the Naberrie estate. He took Obi wan to a hallway outside the room to speak.

"I can tell. From a Padawan to a married man. I....." He looked pretty saddened. "I wish it could have been different."

He put his hand on his shoulder. "It's ok master. You trained me well. Even if I'm not a Jedi I'll still help out any Jedi in need."

"I think you're the one in need Anakin. I can feel the dark side surrounding you. I understand you were angry at what happened with your mom. But what you did....."

You broke no laws, you were outside of republic space and local Tatooine law doesn't say anything about killing Tuskens.

"I did not break any laws, I was outside of republic space and the crime bosses running Tatooine don't care about Tuskens. She was my mom Obi Wan. What would you do if I was beaten and tortured like that? Wouldn't you be angry?"

"I....I admit I would be enraged. But giving into rage like that."

"I wasn't though, I defended myself when they attacked."

"And the women, and the kids?"

"They would have died anyways, it was a mercy killing."

He looked pretty aghast and somewhat disgusted. "Anakin, they were women, kids. What you did, it's evil."

"So is what they did to my mom."

"It didn't justify it. Anakin, please, you may not be a Jedi anymore but listen to me. At least let me help you. I don't want you to fall to the dark side. You're teetering on it."

You know he means it, he wants to help you. Let's hear him out. We should at least maintain cordial relations with the Jedi.

"If you say so master. I'll take your help. Let's enjoy the celebrations now though, I'm a married man."

The next few hours they spent drinking, eating, and singing cheesy Karaoke songs. For the first time in his life, Anakin Skywalker felt fullfilled, surrounded by the people he loved the most. He wouldn't let anyone take this from him, not the Jedi, nor Sidious.
