"Luke... Help me, get this mask off..." Vader was dying... He knew He was.

"But you'll die." Luke retorts his eyes filled with worry.

"Nothing.. Can stop that now..." The Breathing apparatus is barely functioning. Vader has to use the Force just to talk, wanting to get some last few words to his Son. "Just for once, let me... Look on you, with my own eyes."

Luke was almost in tears, but he was holding them back so his father wouldn't have to see it. Knowing what Vader said was true, he reluctantly helped to take the mask off. When it was off, Vader could see his son's skyblue eyes and a look of pure joy and pride appeared on his face. It slowly Faltered as Vader resized how quickly he was slipping.

"Now, Go my son..." Vader said as Dread and Fear overcame Luke's Face. "Leave me." Luke began Shaking his head in denial, as he responded.

"No, Your coming with me, I'll not leave you here I've come to Save you" Luke explained

It was sad to Vader. To see his son in such distress, but he knew there was nothing that he could do but try and put his son's mind at ease. "You, already... Have." Vader assured. Vader was afraid, more afraid than He had ever been in his life. Sure he was afraid of dying, but his son feeling responsible? He could not bear it. "Luke, You were right. You were right about me. Tell your Sister, You. Were. Right." Vader could not prolong it any further, so with those last few word, Vader now Anakin Skywalker once again died in the second Death Star's hanger. Leaving his son in tears.

Then he woke to a void, pitch black and endless.
"Anakin." A familiar voice called to him. When he heard it he recognized it immediately.

"Qui Gon? Is that you?" Anakin asked.

"I always new you would do it." Qui Gon said with pride in his voice. Anakin turned to where he heard the voice to find Qui Gon standing before him. He was smiling. Anakin began to feel the guilt of all he had done, his eyes watering as he look away in shame.

"Ive caused so much pain, killed so many people, Tortured my own daughter, and tried to kill my son." He starts. "And your happy to see me?" Anakin looks to Qui Gon, tears streaming down his face. Qui Gon's expression went from one of joy to one of pity.

"Don't let it haunt you Anakin, you need to forgive yourself before your new life. Otherwise you will only continue to suffer." Qui Gon explains

Anakin's brow furrowed. "My New Life?" Anakin asks in confusion.

"Yes, Your being giving a second chance at life on a new world. A reward for bringing balance to the Force."

Anakin looked down processing what Qui Gon was telling him. "Will I be alone?" Anakin finally asks out of curiosity.

"A Friend will be Joining you."

"Who?" Anakin's vision becomes extraordinarily Bright making him squint. "Qui Gon? Who Will join me? Qui Gon?!" The light become too much to handle as Anakin closes his eyes hearing one finale goodbye.

"May the Force be with you Anakin, Always."

Anakin opens his eyes again, slowly as he hears birds chirping, and the sound of trees moving from the wind. When his eyes finally adjust He can see the trees. I'm in a Forest, like the ones on Naboo. He thought. He looks around only to notice someone unconscious on the ground about a yard away from him. He then gets up and ran over to check on them, recognizing right away that its a clone with blond hair. There's only one person this could be. He thought. He checks for a pulse, and after a moment finds one. He tries shaking them awake which surprisingly works.

"AHHHH, Who's Ther-" Rex shouts out shoving Anakin back before stopping mid sentence to get a good look at the man before him. "Anakin?"

"Rex, is that you." Anakin asks carefully. Anakin saw fear dawn Rex's features as he quickly grabbed his blaster and shot at Anakin while scrambling to his feet. Anakin in a flash ignited his lightsaber and deflected the blasts away from them both. "Rex stop! It's me Anakin! I'm not him anymore."
