Anakin knew where Sidious would be. He would be at his abandoned warehouse in the lower levels of Coruscant. Vader was ready to end it all. He left Tatooine when Thomas had told him that Padmé had disappeared. He knew where Palpatine would be and knew if he killed him now, the galaxy could find peace quicker. He left Tatooine with his armor and enough food for the ride. Vader did not sleep or rest. He patiently waited inside the cockpit while he watched the stars going at light speed. He mentally prepared himself with everything he knew about Sidious. He knew the way he fought, his manipulation tactics, his strengths, and weaknesses. Vader looked at every piece of data he had on Palpatine. Vader needed to kill Palpatine and then kill Dooku. If he can then get back to Tatooine in time, he will be able to get away with killing the most evil man to ever exist. Sheev Palpatine needed to die.

The sun was setting by the time Anakin arrived. He made his way to the warehouse and snuck in. He watched as Palpatine spoke to Dooku about Padmé. When the call was over, he walked out from behind the pillar. "I was wondering when you would make yourself known." Sudokus turned around to face Vader. "Vader." Sidious sneered as he said the name. Bader could feel the hatred and anger pouring off of Sidious. "You have been a thorn in my side, Vader. Disrupting years of planning." Vader smirked behind his helmet. "Evil scum like yourself need to be eliminated, Sidious." Sidious ignited his lightsabers. "Today is the day I remove you from your pitiful existence." Vader ignited his lightsaber, a deep red. "You will try." Vader snarled and lept into action. Him and Sidious battled at a speed never seen before. When Sidious realized he was not winning with his lightsabers, he switched his strategy. Sidious jumped up to the balcony above and began to throw the machines over the edge.

Vader dodged each one swiftly and jumped up to Sidious. Once again they were locked in a lightsaber battle. Vader switched into a defensive form and waited for an opening. When he did, he got around Sidious and kicked one of his lightsabers out of his hand. Now they were evenly matched. The battle continued in silence as the Sith and former Sith fought with ferocious intent. However as time went on, Vader became too aggressive. Sidious weakened him with multiple hits to the body and arm. He saw Sidious's sinister smile.

At this moment Vader knew why he was losing. He was too focused on his anger and hatred. It was making him make mistakes and making him weak. Vader turned and back flipped over Sidious. He focused on his breathing and calmed his mind. At this moment his lightsaber turned black. Not even Palpatine could stop the confusion on his face as the lightsaber turned black. Anakin began to attack even faster than before. Too fast for anyone to keep up with him. Anakin cut off both of Palpatine's hands. He screamed in pain as Anakin walked over and threw him on the ground. "Your plans are over Sheev." Palpatine cackled evilly. "And what do yours when you are arrested." Anakin smirked under his helmet. "There will be no one to arrest. Just your lonely, disgusting dead body. No one will mourn you Sheev. You have no family and all your lies will soon be exposed." Anakin raised his lightsaber up and swung. He watched as Palpatines head came clean off and hit the floor. He spit on his dead body before grabbing his head and his hands.

He put them all in a pile and lit them on fire. It was at this moment that Vader felt again. He felt happy. He felt complete.  He heard a soft voice in his head. Rest Chosen One. Your mission is complete. Anakin closed his eyes as he smiled and let himself rest.

No one ever saw Anakin Skywalker or Sheev Palpatine again.
