V.2-C.58│Preparations I│

To further help himself to increasing and developing his special project in regards to Tatooine and Siri, Anakin didn't need too many things left. He basically has most of the designs drawn up already where his own input was added, even alongside his mother and several other trained professionals.

Having scavenged the broken down bits and pieces of the Dark Reaper, Anakin had acquired yet another piece of technology that could destroy entire worlds.

At this point he had the blueprints for the Death Star, Infinity Gate and now the Dark Reaper. Three things with the capabilities of destroying an entire planet if he really needed something like that, which he didn't but the main part was not the destruction they could cause.

No, Anakin wasn't after that but instead wanted more and more information, innovative works, grand designs and structures that were giant masses of technology.

What he wanted was to make something self-sufficient, with no wastage in energy and if there was going to be an energy source, it had to be something unlimited. Name the Force, and the energy-field it was would either become that energy or he would try some other way to come up with something better.

Of course there was the idea of creating a dyson sphere. A hypothetical megastructure that completely encompasses a star and captures a large percentage of its power output.

This however would be a waste because as it is, he would only be able to capture a large percentage of energy and the rest would escape. The is the truth, the hard truth when it comes to the laws of physics.

There is just no way for him to reserve all of that energy and then recycle it, keeping it within one place, not unless the Force is somehow used. So he would be looking into structures like the Dark Reaper, the Star Forge and even the Golden Globe artifact he had taken from Yavin 4.

He didn't only want to create a renewable energy source that would never run out, but he also wanted to create something else. Something that would start to transform the planet of Tatooine into a near complete technology based planet.

Tatooine in on itself would become a living planet, much more than it already was, where Siri would act as the spirit and as such, Anakin would be this spirits overlord. This massive project came from some flashes of inspiration that tempted him into doing something as crazy as this.

As crazy as turning the entirety of a planet into a living, moving behemoth similar in nature to what the Death Star was, but it wouldn't have the Death Stars capabilities. This is why he wanted an unlimited energy source and believed that while the Force is infinite, that doesn't mean it cant be harmed to severed in some way.

Specifically when it comes to his powers or abilities and it makes sense if there are others that have the capabilities to do something like this. To siphon and create scare, wounds in the Force to disable his unlimited source of energy.

When it comes to Tatooine, he wouldn't be completely mechanizing the planet, harnessing it and draining it of whatever lifeforce it has, but instead he would be creating what is essentially a cyborg planet.

This by far is the better idea instead of making it fully mechanized, because that would destroy the planet. Not in the sense that it would just blow up, but in the sense that he would be severing its connection with the Force. Severing its connection to him, and while he did have large amounts of stock when it came to non-organic midi-chlorians, that wouldn't be enough for the entirety of the planet.

At least, from the numbers he had gathered, even salvaged from the previous living droids deactivated metal bodies.

Of course, Anakin had to thing about other things as well, because an empire doesn't just run itself no matter how much he would automate the process. People were still alive, those that were living were still living and still very much connected to the Force and because of this, Anakin would have to be a people person.

No matter how much he would like to have and enjoyed staying within the shadows, in the end there is no escaping the truth. The truth will come out no matter what, no matter how well you hide your secrets, especially in a universe like this with the all invasive Force.

It is practically already within his mind and the minds of every other living thing. The only difference that he has from others, is his unique advantage of knowing the future, being the 'child' of the Force and being the combination of the souls of the original Anakin and himself, from his previous life.

It may be that there is more to it than that, but Anakin is able to identify just what or why exactly he is able to defy fate and destiny. He is able to go up against what the Force wants and challenge it with his sheer willpower, going so far as to start to separate himself from the Force.

Not in making himself not a part of the Force, but instead separating himself by leaving the connection but allowing himself a hideaway. A place that if he wanted, he could still use Force like abilities but be unhampered and completely undirected by the Force.

This is why he is building his very own dimension, where he just stole the name of 'Heaven.' This is why he is starting to do some scientific projects in relation to midi-chlorian manipulation and the transformation of such symbiotic lifeforms.

He is transforming them, or at least trying to transform them to not only become better but also trying to make sure they would have a special connection only to himself. He was starting to notice it himself.

His presence within the Force was starting to create a chain reaction like no other, and while those connected to him dont feel the effects, others that are Force-sensitive can. He has reached a tipping point in the build up of his power, of his strength and it wouldn't stop there.

He was fearing about his control, even though it is perfect and the leftover energy isn't exactly normal.

No, it was an energy-field of its own and it was all originating from him.

'When I said I am going to become the Force, I didn't exactly mean this, but this is better than what I had originally planned.' What Anakin was doing, is essentially becoming the Force, the actually energy-field that is the Cosmic Force.

While the Living Force, which is the midi-chlorians would slowly be changed as well, as he tries to create a stronger and much better version of the Living Force, of midi-chlorians for himself and others.

He wouldn't keep this to himself, especially those that would be under him and his wives, lovers and family. How could he reject them from himself?

There was something else he had to think about as well, what he would be doing in regards to the Hutts and their blatant attempt to try and pull him downwards.

They would be getting theirs, Anakin knows that they will as he would be creating an army, an army that he has already built up enough to go against them. But this wouldn't be without casualties and loss in resources, which is something he cant really afford right now as it would make the Empyrean appear weak.

Of course he could always rely on his all crushing, world destroying power, but that would just make everyone else incentivized to attack him. He didn't want to end up like Nihilus but he also didn't want to do nothing about it, and not make the abilities he now has access to useless.

'Now to deal with someone that dared to try and do something to me, or my wives...' Anakin was obviously referring to King, the lunatic. It would seem that all of Anakin's enemies were in some way, shape or form insane from their circumstances or just out right psychopaths, for example, Sidious...

"Hello... there." Anakin sat on his throne as people were presented to him, people that were a part of the Federation. He looked into their souls, their minds himself as even though the soldiers, the synths were reliable he knew that emotions could tamper with things.

Even emotions from times long since past could become tampered with when alot of emotion is present in the present. The mind isn't perfect, no matter how much resources are put into it, so Anakin obviously for himself didn't always use his mind but instead used the Force.

It was the best way to determine whether or not someone was worthy of punishment, as while the Force does act naughty sometimes when it comes to him, it wouldn't jeopardize something like this. If it wanted to do something to him, it wouldn't do so through others and would directly go to him to do so.

"Innocent." Anakin called out as he gestured for the next person to come, and as he progressed, more and more people started to become guilty.

Anakin didn't even bother to say anything anymore after a certain point and just directly absorbed the Force energy and lifeforce of those that were guilty. They were complete wastes of space, and every time he went into the mind of someone and read their memories he would have to further and further temper his own willpower.

Some things were just best left unseen, but obviously the world isn't such a nice place, so it is better for Anakin to get used to such experiences as early on as he can.

"Next." Anakin called out but knew that the last person to come through those doors is the leader behind all of those people.

"Look who we have here..." Anakin stood up, the droids within the palace were nonchalant but were still alert because they wanted to protect their master no matter what. Even when he could destroy the palace himself if he wasn't in control himself, by simply moving his arm in one direction.

"You! You are the Emperor!"

"Yes I am." Anakin walked around the downed man, his limbs were actually cut off, his tongue wasn't cut out however, but he was left in such a state, that it is unbelievable that he was still alive.

"You did this too me!" The synths, or was it Grievous, had gone so far as to mutilate his reproductive organs, making sure he couldn't even call himself a man. It was very unappealing to see the man in such a state, but Anakin decided to read the mans mind just to be sure of his thoughts.

As while he may be protective over his loved ones, that doesn't mean that what this guy said was actually what he wanted.

'Welp, I was wrong...' Anakin had thought that, until he saw that the thoughts of King were exactly like it was already proposed. An absolute degenerate piece of garbage, and what was worse is that it was nearly all as a result of his own tragedies.

Something that could make one stronger, but instead this man decided to become psychotic, maybe stronger in the sense he was willing to do all of this crazy stuff. Nonetheless Anakin considered him weak.

"Why are you ignoring me! Listen to me!" King called out, but that wasn't even his real name, now was it.

"Be quiet, Theodore."

"H-How do y-you know that!" The man was startled as his real name was exposed. "Y-You, the WHOLE lot of you are monsters!"

"Theodore, you will be no more." Anakin decided that was enough out of him and just walked up to the crippled, disabled and incapable man that was named Theodore, otherwise known as King. He reached out his hand but didn't touch the fifth in front of him and directly pulled out the consciousness, the soul of King.

"You will be no more, the only person that would ever remember you had even existed would be me. No one else, you wont even have a name in history, you will be no one. In fact you would not even be no one, and would instead not even exist." Anakin said as he saw the horror filled eyes of Theodore, finally realizing the situation he has gotten himself in.

Theodore didn't even have all of his body parts returned to him as a ghost and instead didn't even have the dignity of going out with his form in tact. Anakin didn't allow for that to happen and instead made sure when he threw him into the void, he wouldn't be receiving anything in particular.

He would be slowly consumed by the darkness, and Anakin would try and do something miraculous for the mans daughter, who had died. While her soul was most likely one with the Force now, that didn't mean Anakin wouldn't try and extract Theodores lifeforce and send it through to the daughter that is dead.

She was more like in a brain-dead state, rather than proper fully dead and this would give her a chance to live. She would live without a father of course, but she had her mother still and a rich step-father as well, so it was better than nothing.

"I hope you dont rest in peace." Anakin gave his final goodbye to the tortured soul of one Theodore Miller, otherwise known as King. He wouldn't be existing past this point of time and even then, he wouldn't even exist in the past as well, and it would seem as if he wasn't a person at all.
