Anakin Skywalker Imagines/Oneshots

The Balance

You grabbed your amethyst colored lightsaber before running to your ship. You sped off to Mustafar to confront your husband about what he had done.

When you landed your small ship on the lava-filled planet you walked down the ramp. Anakin had seen your ship in orbit and had ran to greet you.

"(y/n)!" He called out to you and you smiled just the smallest bit. He may have done horrible things but your husband was still in there; he still loved you.

You ran to him and he caught you in his strong arms. He hugged you to his chest as he kissed you. You enjoyed his arms and his kisses because you did not know if you would ever experience them again because of what you were about to do.

You pulled away from your husband and he looked confused. You thought he looked so handsome in this light but you had to refrain from crawling back into his comforting arms. He had done bad things, you knew he had to be stopped.

You pulled out your lightsaber and ignited it; the purple glow emitted from it. You could see the heartbroken expression on your husband's face which quickly filled with rage. "YOUR HERE TO KILL ME?" He screamed at you and tears pulled at your eyes, but you wouldn't let them fall.

You didn't say anything back and held your lightsaber in front of yourself. Your hand shook, your mind told you to kill your husband but your heart was telling you to save him. It must have been a good thing that you always had listened to your heart in the past. You retracted your lightsaber and pushed it away and kneeled before your husband. You bowed in defeat and submission before the husk of your husband.

His sith yellow eyes witnessed your submission, but the eyes of Anakin Skywalker saw his wife unable to fight him. the two sides of him fought within him, but the sith wielded the upper hand.

"PICK UP YOUR WEAPON!" the Sith ordered but you only shook your head.

"I won't fight you Anakin, I can't fight you, even though I know I should." You admit to him calmly.

He picked up his own lightsaber and ignited it. He had it at your neck in seconds and you could feel the heat from the blade.

"Then I must kill you my love." Anakin's voice said and you nod in understanding.

"If that is how I am to go then so be it. But look me in the eyes Anakin as you do it! I wish to see your face as I go." You almost beg.

The Sith Lord complies and kneels down in front of you. Your eyes stare into his beautiful blue eyes. The eyes of your husband, the eyes of your killer. You can feel his hesitation radiate within him, but he soon swings to cut your head off and you close your eyes expecting to feel pain but what you do feel is far from a saber strike.

You hear his saber fall to the ground and his lips were soon on yours. You open your eyes and immediately close them at the feeling he was giving you.

He grabs you and lifts you so you are straddling his lap; you reach up and pull at his lovely hair. He lets go of your lips and then places his forehead against your own. "I could never kill you, my love." He whispers and you smile at him before kissing him again.

You were too consumed in each other to realize that a cloaked figure was approaching. You glanced up only to see the fear in your husbands eyes as he looked behind you.

You could only let out a screech of pain as you were flung off of Anakin by the force. "Stupid Girl." The recognizable voice of Sheev Palpatine sneered. You screamed in pain as lightning shot out from his fingertips hitting you.

Anakin was quickly on his feet and he willed your lightsaber and his to his hands igniting them. The blue and purple glow made Palpatine turn to face him. "You disappoint me Lord Vader, you do not deserve that name of the Sith." Palpatine hissed.

Anakin didn't reply and jumped in front of you, the lightsabers creating a barrier between the two of you and the lightning.

Anakin glanced at you and passed you your lightsaber. He then used his other hand and held it up choking the air from Palpatine. The Sith Lord stopped the lightning attack and began to claw at
his throat.

Anakin drew closer still keeping his hold on the Chancellor's throat. You glanced up and saw Anakin, the left of his body illuminated in the glow of his blue saber, and his right side gleaming in the glow of the lava of Mustafar.

This fanart is not mine!

He was balanced.

Part Evil! part Good!

Part Light, Part Dark!

The Chosen One will bring Balance to the Force!

Maybe the ancient ones had it wrong. Maybe he would't bring the balance. But he is the balance.
There is no Vader without Anakin and there is no Anakin without Vader.

Anakin drew closer to the Sith lord and with one swipe of his lightsaber the Sith's head rolled into the raging lava river of Mustafar, finally defeated.

He lets out a breath of air and then he turns around to look at you. You knew it to be your husband as his Sith eyes were no more. They were now replaced with the bright blue they had always been. At seeing this you jump up and run to him and he catches you in his arms.

"You did it!"You say before kissing him and he drops his lightsaber to the ground and cups your cheeks to kiss you back.

"I would never had been able to do it if you weren't here." He admits and you smile and lean your forehead against his. He gleamed at you and you gleamed back at him. You had known your husband was still in there somewhere, and now you knew in your heart that you had been right.

"You brought balance to the force by being the balance, you could have done it without me." You try to justify but he shakes his head.

"If I am the balance then you are the only thing that can keep me balanced. Without you I would have been lost to the dark side—forever." He said and you smile and just stand in the moment with your husband, as the rivers of lava flowed around you.

It may have not seemed like paradise to some, but with your husband by your side you could be anywhere from the dusty empty spaces of Tatooine to the lush green forests of Endor or the Lava rivers of Mustafar. Because wherever he was, it was home.
