Summary: This is an alternate universe where the Revenge of the Sith didn't quite happen the way we saw it happen. If you played the video game then you know the alternate ending, if you didn't or if you forgot, I'll tell you how it happened. (You may also YouTube search it, I can't put links here.) On Mustafar just as Obi-Wan had the high ground, or thought he did, Vader/Anakin jumped high enough and jumped over Kenobi's saber and stabbed him in the back, killing him. Anakin/Vader walked back towards Padme's ship and that was where he met with the Emperor and the Storm Troopers, before reaching Padme. Once there, Darth Sidious, the Emperor, gave Vader the new lightsaber, a Sith lightsaber, its red instead of the blue he had before. Vader ignited the saber and took the Emperor by surprise, killing him on the spot. This chapter is the conclusion of Episode III, and the beginning of the series, Skywalkers: Rule The Galaxy!
This is the conclusion of Episode III: Viewer discretion is advised...
The Storm Troopers didn't know what to do, they were sworn to answer to the Emperor above all others, yet the Emperor was killed before them. That would make this new man, Darth Vader or Anakin Skywalker, whichever name he chooses to keep, their new Emperor. They lower their weapons and Anakin walks back towards Padme's ship, then begins to run to check on her after what he did to her earlier. He finds her lying down on the seat in the back of her ship and he tries to wake her up, his eyes turning blue.
"Padme, angel, wake up." He said. "Wake up!" He shouted as her eyes slowly opened.
"Anakin?" She muttered, he smiled.
"It's me, you're going to be okay. Just stay with me." He said as he closed the rear hatch with C-3PO onboard. "Artoo, Clone Troopers, follow me." Anakin said over the open radio frequency as he turned the ship on and quickly began to take off as he tried to think of where to go. Using the Force he tried to keep her alive as he set a course for Coruscant which wasn't that far away (considering the Emperor got their pretty quick when he detected "Vader" was in trouble), he plotted a course and jumped into hyperspace with the Clone Troopers and Artoo following behind.
With the course set and the ship on autopilot while in hyperspace, Anakin ran back to where Padme was lying and he kept her company as the memories of what he did came flushing to mind, he was alone with an unconscious woman and a droid, it was okay to cry and he did, mostly for the children he killed and for the loss of his Master Obi-Wan. He would have to handle these problems later but he needed to make sure Padme was okay and he needs to take control of the Empire, with the threat over, peace should come or else they'd have to deal with Anakin and he wasn't in a very good mood...
Coruscant
The ship exited hyperspace with Artoo and the Clone Troopers behind and he flew closest to the medcenter and from there he ran with Padme in his arms. The medical droid saw him coming and called ahead for a medical team as they rushed Padme into a room where they tried to find out what was wrong with her and to deliver the baby. The medical team got to work and informed Anakin that Padme was pregnant with twins and that she was in serious condition due to an unknown injury, a strangulation, yet it left no mark nor evidence as to what caused it, but Anakin knew exactly what happened.
Anakin remained next to her as Threepio arrived in the room. "Threepio, I need you to get the Senate together, tell them the Emperor told them to be ready for a special session of congress, now."
"Right away, Master Anakin." Threepio replied as he ran away, or walked away as fast as he could.
The medical droid got to work and they stabilized Padme as she was once again conscious and Anakin held her hand and kept her company, she smiled as she saw he was okay. She didn't remember anything but she knew that it was time to deliver her baby, she screamed and pushed as she was instructed to by the droid a moment later the medical droid carried over their son, their first born.
"Let's name him... Luke." She whispered, still weak and Anakin smiled as he took the baby from the droid and held onto him tight, smiling and happy. At this moment, everything else faded away.
Grand Republic Medical Facility was the best hospital in Coruscant but it was no longer called that, it was now the Imperial Medical Facility, since everything was Imperialized including the name of the capital city which is now Imperial City but the name of the planet remained the same.
The second baby was born and the medical droid brought her over as well and Padme took custody of her daughter. "Let's name her, Leia." She said and Anakin nodded and smiled, he had no problem with that, he was just happy that his wife was alright as were their children.
"Sounds like they have their names." Anakin affirmed as he smiled, everything seemed to be going alright and Padme seemed fine, what about the dream? Was it fake? A possible future? Did he change the timeline? He didn't know. "We have many things to talk about. But for now I want you to rest, you were unconscious until you came here. The best medical staff is looking after you now, I need you to fight to stay here with me."
"I always will." She replied with a smile as Anakin took Leia and kissed Padme on the forehead as walked out of the room and Anakin encountered a few human medical personnel.
"Can we help you, Jedi Knight?" The Doctor asked obviously recognizing him.
"You haven't paid attention to the news, have you?" Anakin asked.
"Nope, too busy for that." He replied.
"Well, things have changed. I have to deliver a speech to the Senate, can you watch my babies and my wife? Let me know immediately if anything happens. I will be back, as soon as I am done." Anakin said as the Doctor nodded and Anakin passed his babies off to the nurses or other Doctors as the Clone Troopers lined the halls, and Artoo finally caught up.
"Is that why these guys are here?" The Doc asked referring to the Troopers.
"I am the Emperor, now. They are here to protect me and my family, even though no one could kill me. It is all apart of the job." Anakin replied as he walked away with Artoo in tow.
Senate Chambers
Anakin stood in the pod that normally held the Supreme Chancellor but since earlier today it held the Emperor and he looked around, he so didn't like this. This is Padme's arena, he thought, I just need to handle it until she is able to handle them and keep them in line.
"Members of the Senate, as you know I am Anakin Skywalker, the former Jedi Knight. I have disturbing news to tell you and I need you to listen closely." Anakin said and the chambers were quiet.
"The Jedi Order is done, all of the Jedi are dead." Anakin said and silence continued. "Emperor Palpatine, is now dead as well." There was a lot of chatter after that. "I killed him myself." People were outraged after that comment. "Listen!" He shouted and everyone shut up. "The Emperor was a Sith Lord, Darth Sidious. He lured me to the Dark Side and used me so I would kill the Separatists, which I did and I killed the man who was behind all that has happened, he used me and made me do the unthinkable and I couldn't let him live knowing that, so I killed him. You see, the Emperor was behind everything. The Separatists took orders from the Emperor. The Clones Wars happened because of the Emperor. The Emergency Powers you granted him, that was his plan all along. The Emperor ordered me to go and kill the Separatists leaders which included Viceroy Gunray of the Trade Federation, and I did. As I was the Second-in-Command of the Empire, I am now the Emperor of the First Galactic Empire!" Anakin shouted and people were on the fence, they were absorbing all that was being said.
"If you side with me then we shall have peace, as we do starting now. If you side against me, remember I control the Clone Troopers or Storm Troopers as they're called now. I control the Imperial Military, the Storm Troopers, Coruscant, I am in charge of everything that was under the control of the Galactic Republic. If you work with me, then you'll remain in power just like you were during the Republic, the only things that'll change is the names which will change from Grand Republic to Imperial. You are all now Imperial Senators, and as for me, I am Emperor. I have absolute power over my Empire, and I will do whatever is necessary to keep my Empire in order. If you step out of line or can't resolve differences here, diplomatically and things get out of hand, I will take it upon myself and my Empress, Padme Amidala Skywalker, the Senator of Naboo." He let that sink in a moment before continuing.
"I was born without a father, my mother was a slave as was I, on Tatooine. I was discovered by a Jedi when I was 9 and was brought here to Coruscant where I began my training as a Jedi Pedawan. I am known as the Hero with No Fear, and that hasn't changed, I will continue to be so as long as you stay with me." Anakin let that sink in before continuing. "From the beginning everyone told me that I was the Chosen One, that I would bring balance to the Force and I was fathered by the midichlorians themselves which made me the Chosen One. I achieved that goal. The Jedi are all gone, as are the Sith, only I remain where I classify myself as neither Sith nor Jedi. The Jedi had too many restrictions and the Sith were manipulative and selfish, I wouldn't consider myself a Sith although some things I did, could be considered evil which aligns with the Sith. I just want everyone to know that everything I did in recent days was for the benefit of the galaxy, of the Empire. Join me and we will be a safe and secure Empire! Go against me and you will feel my wrath." Anakin said as his eyes turned yellow for a moment then back to blue. "For the time being, we are in a state of emergency but in the next short while, that will be lifted and life will return to normal. There will be military garrisons on certain planets especially those that are disorderly, I do not want my forces to invade and conquer planets but I will give the order if I must. If anyone wishes to speak with me concerning anything I said today, you may leave me a message in my office, Emperor Palpatine's last office. Thank you." He said and left it at that. That will be enough to suffice.
Imperial Medical Facility
Anakin returned and more Storm Troopers (as they are now called) were there than before and it would be hard to walk down the hallway but as Anakin walked they all stood at attention clearing the path for him, apparently his influence or there need for a leader overcame them enough to make them side with him. He had a lot to do but that didn't matter right now, what mattered was Padme and the twins. Anakin checked in on Padme and she was sleeping, the Doctor came from behind and stood behind Anakin.
"She is going to be okay. Her vitals are good, her breathing has returned to normal, she is hanging in there. If she is okay tomorrow, then you can bring her and your kids home." The Doctor informed him and Anakin smiled.
"That's great news. Thank you, Doctor." Anakin said looking through the window at his wife. "How about the twins?"
"They are good as well, very healthy. They're sleeping now, but you could see them now, if you want too." The Doctor allowed and Anakin nodded and the Doctor lead the way to the nursery. "Are you and Senator Amidala, married?"
"Three years ago, we married on Naboo, secretly. With her being a Senator and me being a Jedi, we couldn't make it public but we also couldn't avoid each other, so we did it secretly. She only told me she was pregnant, just the other day, this happened way too fast. As you know I was busy in the Clone War being a Jedi General, it was hard to communicate between us while keeping this all a secret and we were only expecting one kid, now we'll need to get extra supplies for the second, but that won't be a problem." Anakin said and the Doctor knew it to be true.
"Of course, not. You're the Emperor now, you could do anything you wanted too." The Doctor said and Anakin wasn't sure of his tone.
"I could, yes. But Padme is the politician, if she wants to be my Empress, then she'll run the Empire. I am more of a man of action, so I will be at her side and we'll make sure the Empire runs peacefully and in order, but now, all that I care about is Padme and the twins." Anakin said reassuringly.
"Well, Your Imperial Majesty, I am honored to have you as my Emperor. You are the Hero with No Fear and a good man, and by the looks of it, you'll make a good father and husband." The Doctor replied with a smile.
"Thank you, Doctor. That means a lot to me, especially hearing it from you." Anakin said with a smile, he was the only one, so far, who said anything like that to him, ever. "No one besides Padme ever really compliment me for my accomplishments, Jedi don't really believe in that."
"Well, I mean it." The Doctor said as they reached the nursery and walked in. "Here are your twins, do you need anything else?"
"I am fine, Doctor." Anakin replied as he stood between them as they both slept in their nursery beds. "You may get back to doing what you need to do."
The Next Day...
Anakin sat in the chair as the twins were brought into Padme's room and Padme was sleeping in her hospital bed, as were the twins. Anakin's life was complete, he had everything he needed and he was the Ruler of the Galaxy. What more could a guy ask for? A hot wife, two beautiful kids, unlimited money and power, what else is there? Oh right, a lightsaber. Anakin had both of his lightsaber's hooked on his belt, the Sith one and the Jedi one. He wore his robes, the same one he wore as a Sith, as Darth Vader and he had his Jedi clothes on underneath. The hood was down and his eyes were blue, he was 100% Anakin Skywalker, with some Darth Vader mixed in. He had an Empire to form and organize and he needed to know what was happening in the Galaxy and the Senate.
"Ani?" Padme said, she opened her eyes slowly. She saw the nursery hoverbeds and saw her twins.
"Padme!" Anakin said jumping up and grabbing her hand and pulling it close, "how are you feeling?"
"I'm... I'm... okay. I feel fine. I don't remember what happened before or after having the twins. How are they?" She asked and Anakin was relieved. He had to live with what he did, nearly killing her, he just hoped things could get back to normal and hopefully she'd never remember what he did.
"Great." He replied. "The twins are good, strong, healthy. The Doctor was more worried about you, he said you had some breathing problems but that seemed to clear up and your vitals are normal. He said that you could go home, we could go home, today."
"Home... where is home? Here or Naboo...?" She asked, confused.
"The galaxy is our home, now. Do you remember anything at all? From before you blacked out?" He asked not wanting to tell her everything.
"I remember the Jedi Temple was attacked, seeing you. I remember... Obi-Wan and oh no..." She remembered, a lot apparently. "You didn't?"
Anakin sighed, "I did and didn't. Darth Vader, did those things. Anakin Skywalker didn't. The Emperor is dead, the Jedi are mostly dead, the Sith are gone since the Emperor was a Sith as was I for a very short time... He was too powerful and saving you was more powerful. I did everything for you, then I realized what I did and I killed the Emperor. I also killed Obi-Wan, I didn't have a choice, it was me or him."
"Oh... Ani..." She said as she sat up and started to cry.
"I am here, now. I told you, I was losing myself. The dream of you dying, like the dream of my mother, I couldn't let it happen again. I needed you, alive. He said, only he could do it. It turned out that if I followed him, you would've died, most likely, since Sith don't believe in love, only pain, anger and hatred which was no doubt what was happening in my vision. We have our problems we have to sort out, but we're together. We can work through it, over time." Anakin tried to get through to her, he even started to tear up as well.
"Why did you kill all of the Jedi?" She asked.
"I didn't kill them all. The Storm Troopers... Clone Troopers, killed the most under the orders of Palpatine through Order 66. I was the one to balance the force, I had to start from scratch. The Jedi were a failure as evidenced by the war and failure to find out that Palpatine was the Chancellor and the Sith were too powerful, look at all the power the then Chancellor had... then as Emperor, he had everything and with the Jedi out of the picture, the galaxy was his." Anakin reminded her.
"We gave it to him." She said remembering the Trade Federation's embargo on her planet.
"This isn't your fault or even my fault. He planned this for decades before we were even born, that is what Sith do. But now we are in charge and we can shape the galaxy to our liking, we can change the galaxy for the better, we can bring real change. You said that the Republic was the evil we were trying to fight against, now the Republic is no more and the Empire is in charge. Now this Empire, is ours. The Senate is aware and I want you to rule with me. I am no politician, I am a man of action, we both have our own set of strengths and weaknesses and they compliment each other. We could do this. We could do it as a family." Anakin said as he sat down on her bed next to her. "We both know we wanted this. I know you wanted to be Supreme Chancellor and I wanted to be the Ruler of the Galaxy and now we are."
"I am just glad you're okay." She said as she lied back down. "I need to rest, I am still weak."
"Rest, my angel, we can discuss this later, We'll be here." Anakin said and she started to close her eyes going back to sleep.
