Obi-Wan was defeats by Anakin in Duel on Mustafar, but miraculously survived Yoda rescue Obi-Wan, but remained in hiding on Alderaan due to Anakin and Padmé's betrayal.

Obi-Wan had sense of betrayal deepened when he heard that Anakin killed former Emperor, Palpatine and become new Emperor, and Padmé become new Empress.

At a time when Obi-Wan was heartbroken, his master, Qui-Gon Jinn's voice began to sound in Obi-Wan's ears.

"Patience, Obi-Wan, isn't this what I always taught you?"

The Obi-Wan froze. He could only hear a voice, from inside his mind to the walls around them. Deep, comforting and painfully familiar.

“Mas-Master?”

"Yes, Obi-Wan, this is me. I was waiting for the right time to contact you."

Obi-Wan struggled to maintain his composition.

To no avail.

Joy filled him for the first time since forever.

“This feels good, Master,” he admitted with a smile.

"I have been proud of you, my old student. I cannot guide you much now for you will have to make your own choice, but I hope that by now you have come to learn you did everything the wrong way."

Obi-Wan frowned.

"But nobody are hope we have left anymore! Anakin-" he took a deep breath. “Anakin is no more."

"He is the Chosen one."

Silence.

As if this statement alone could explain everything.

"He no longer is the Chosen one," Obi-Wan wearily explained. "How could he be? He may have killed Sidious but the dark side seems even more present now. He has become the evil he was supposed to destroy."

"He still is the Chosen One. He has yet to fulfill his mission." said Qui-Gon.

"How could he?" The Obi-Wan countered in disbelief. "No one can't do something now."

"I cannot know this, Obi-Wan. Only Anakin can do this. If he wants to." Qui-Gon said calmly.

"Anakin is no more!" Obi-Wan said in frustration, staring at the ceiling as if Qui-Gon was right there.

"There is good in him still. There is hope." said Qui-Gon.

"Hope?" the Obi-Wan whispered. "He slaughtered many Jedi! He is violently holding the whole galaxy in his leashes! There isn't any hope left!"

"That is why you fail, Obi-Wan." Qui-Gon said disappointly.

No more words. The room became silent again.

And Obi-Wan was still at loss.

Two months later, in the Imperial Palace, formerly the Jedi Temple...

Obi-Wan confronted Anakin, now known as Emperor Vader, and Padmé, now known as Empress Vader. "Anakin... Padmé... You have become Emperor and Empress?" Obi-Wan said in a surprised voice.

"Obi-Wan... didn't you die on Mustafar?" Emperor Vader said coldly. "You tried to hurt my husband, Obi-Wan!" Empress Vader said also coldly.

"Anakin! You were once the Chosen One! How did you do this? Padmé! You were once a symbol of democracy! How could you abandon your ideals?" Obi-Wan shouted angrily at Emperor and Empress Vader.

"Stop lecturing us, Obi-Wan! We will kill You!" Emperor and Empress Vader said evilly. Thus Obi-Wan begins a lightsaber duel with the Emperor and Empress.

"Your reign will come to an end sooner or later, Anakin! Padmé! I will definitely stop you!" Obi-Wan yelled in anger.

Emperor and Empress fought the urge to snort.

“You can’t stop us, Obi-Wan!” Emperor and Empress Vader said coldly.

Obi-Wan angered. Infuriated, Emperor and Empress pushed with the Force. Caught off-guard, the Obi-Wan stumbled down the steps, his lightsaber clattering loudly as it rolled down.

Emperor and Empress Vader stood over him, triumphant.

After the Duel on Imperial Palace, Bail Organa, a Senator of Alderaan, took the fallen Obi-Wan to the safety of Alderaan, allowing Obi-Wan to survive.

"Are you okay?" Bail said. “Thank you.” Obi-Wan answered.

"Emperor and Empress Vader’s atrocities are becoming more serious by the day." Bail said with a serious expression.

"We have to stop them somehow." Obi-Wan said.

"First, let’s evacuate all remaining Jedi to Alderaan and train them here." said Bail, making up his mind.

"Good idea." said Obi-Wan, as if he had strengthened his resolve.

꧁༒༒꧂

Meanwhile, in the Empress Vader’s Room...

Mon Mothma, who is a Senator of Chandrila and the Padmé's former mentor, is guided into Empress Vader’s room by Merrin, a Empress Vader’s apprentice and a Sith Knight. Merrin leads Mon to the bottom of the steps leading up to Empress Vader’s throne chair and bows to Empress.

"Kneel," Empress Vader order Mon Mothma, knowing full well that she won't.

And she doesn't disappoint.

Instead, she spits on Empress Vader’s steps in a sign of disrespect. "Never."

Merrin teaches her a lesson with an electric bath. Mon screams as she falls to the floor. She doesn't stop, and Empress Vader don't bother intervening.

"Well done, Merrin." Empress Vader purr, nodding her appreciation to Merrin. Mon's on the floor on all fours, her impeccable clothes have scorch marks on them. Her breath is ragged, quick. "I trust she didn't give you a hard time once you located her?"

Her grin widens. "Her pitiful Rebels tried but ultimately failed to stop me. I destroyed them before locating her in her office, suicide pill in hand." She shrugs. "She was too slow to swallow it." Merrin tosses it up in the air, as if to tease Mon.

Suicide pill. How quaint. "Don't worry, Mon. After I show you a party I'm holding in your honor, you will die." Empress Vader give Mon a smile evilly and sits down in her throne chair.

On the other hand, in the Emperor Vader’s Room...

Ahsoka Tano bit back a snarl as two stormtroopers began to drag her to the Emperor. Emperor Vader. Emperor Vader was a cruel man. With cold, gold infested eyes, an evil smile. He could shock a man to death and not even give the family a passing glance. Yes it was safe to say she hated him. No, she'd never met him face to face and in all honesty she didn't want to.

The stormtroopers stopped in front of a desk in a huge room. Ahsoka suspected it to be the work place of Vader himself. The stormtroopers saluted to a new person in the room. He was tall, had brown-blonde unruly curls, and soft pink lips. She tilted her head. Where had she seen someone with all the looks he had? He turned to face them, gold eyes widening when he saw her. Ahsoka jumped a little. She knew who had pink lips, unruly curls, and who was tall. She had seen it all on Anakin. So why was it all on Vader?

"Anakin?" Ahsoka asked.

"Vader." he corrected her.

"How could you?" Ahsoka asked, fighting at the stormtroopers grip.

"I did what I had to do!" Emperor Vader screamed.

"You betrayed the jedi and me!" she yelled.

"No! They betrayed me and so did you." Emperor Vader said, coldly.

"I can't believe this. My master would never sink to this sick level." Ahsoka said, boldly freeing herself from the stormtroopers grip.

"Your master was to young to survive that war!" Emperor Vader screamed, yellow eyes glowing with anger and hate.

Ahsoka ran at him her emotions rolling.

Hate.

"Master I'm sorry. I had good intentions it's just-" she had started.

"Snips when I was your age I did the same thing." Anakin had told her.

Broken.

"You love her." she said, mad.

"She's my friend." Anakin said.

"She's your lover." she had said , then ran away.

Trust destroyed.

"You can't tell anyone." Anakin said.

"I won't. Oh Sky-guy you'll be a good dad." she said.

Hurt.

"Master! Master!" she screamed, frantically.

"Ahsoka calm down I'm right here." Anakin said.

Lied to.

"Master. You'll come back. Right?" she asked.

"Yes Ahsoka. Of course." he promised and ran into the night.

Heart torn to Pieces.

"Anakin." she had cried.

What was left of the council had comforted her.

"Sky-guy." she sobbed.

She launched at Emperor Vader knocking him down. She bared her teeth and went to punch him. But his hand shot up and lighting came out shocking her.

Stormtroopers pulled her up.

"What's wrong with you? I thought you loved me!" she screamed.

"Anakin loved you, and he's dead!" Emperor Vader yelled, walking towards her.

"You're a monster!" she yelled, fighting to break free again from the stormtroopers.

"Thank you." Emperor Vader said, smiling a smile she had only seen Anakin use.

Ahsoka brought a foot up and kicked Emperor Vader in the ribs. He snarled and picked her up by the throat.

"You will pay for your betrayal." he said, throwing her on the ground.

"And someday you'll pay for yours." Ahsoka said, catching her breath.

Emperor Vader didn't even give her a look he simply left, ordering stormtroopers to put her in a cell block.

Five days later, in the Alderaan...

Yoda was meditating with Obi-Wan.

"Painful meditation, you have?" Yoda asked gravely.

Obi-Wan sighed deeply and reluctantly said the inevitable.

"You were right, Master Yoda", he admitted, taking a seat next to the old Master, Yoda.

"And now worse matters are." Yoda said, his eyes piercing him.

Obi-Wan nodded gravely.

"Anakin and Padmé is a monster, Master. They really is destroyed by the dark side."

Yoda nodded, deep in thought.

"Rest, Obi-Wan," he said at last. "Meditate on this, I must."

The Obi-Wan started. For a moment, he felt like if he was young Padawan again, being dismissed by his Master, Qui-Gon. Then he shrugged. He was grateful that Yoda was not blaming him for the disaster his mission had become.

Obi-Wan longed for rest.

And he didn't want to think of Anakin any longer.

At this time, Mace Windu, who was thought to be dead, appeared.

"Master Windu? You survived!" Yoda said happily.

"You were really right, Master Windu. Anakin was a disaster." Obi-Wan said apologetically.

“I’m glad you both survived.” Windu said with relief.

“First, let’s make a plan to eliminate the betrayers Anakin and Padmé.” Windu said, burning with righteous revenge.

“A new Lawyer of Coruscant will come to our refuge. This young man is the True Chosen One” Yoda said.

“This young man is the True Chosen One?” Obi-Wan and Windu said in confusion.

“You will find out when you meet this young man in person.” Yoda said.

And so, the three Jedi Masters strengthened their resolve.

Luke and Leia were waiting for their father to come through the front door. Empress Vader was working on something for the Senate so they couldn't bother her.

Emperor Vader opened the door and was Luke and Leia go to their dad.

"Hi daddy." they said.

"Hi. What were you two doing?" Emperor Vader asked.

"Waiting for you." Luke said.

"Where's your mother?" Emperor Vader asked.

"Mommy's working on something in her office." Leia said.

"Okay I'll be right back." he said.

As he walked away he felt their disappointment. They wanted him to stay with them. It's not like he didn't want to stay with them, it's just he was busy. But they had heard that before.

"Padmé." he said, slipping into her office.

Empress Vader looked up from her paperwork, smiling when she saw him.

"Anakin." she said, standing up and walking towards him.

She was the only one he let call him Anakin. He remembered the day she had asked.

"What do you want?" he asked.

"Anakin-" she had started.

"Vader." he corrected.

"I want to call you Anakin." she said, pleading eyes.

"Yes Angel."

“Padmé, the traitor Obi-Wan is conspiring with Yoda and Windu to hurt us.” Emperor Vader said.

“I can’t believe it…” Empress Vader said in astonishment.

“Ani, we have destroys to Jedi now, we most” Empress Vader said with determination.

“Of course, my love. Now we are going hunting.” Emperor Vader said as he kissed Empress Vader.

One day, I, new Lawyer of Coruscant, appeared in the Imperial Court to defend a Rebel soldier captured by the Emperor and Empress.

Despite tyranny and exploitation of Skywalker family, who is the Imperial family of the Galactic Empire and the Leaders family of the Sith Order, I'm try to protect the rule of law and fighting Skywalker family.

I defended the defendant faithfully, but the Emperor and Empress paid no heed and sentenced the defendant to death.

After the trial, Emperor and Empress Vader visit my law office with two Inquisitors, First Brother, formerly known as Cal Kestis, as well as Fourth Sister, formerly known as Lyn Rakish.

"Lawyer, the criticism against us is increasing a lot these days!" Emperor Vader yelled in anger.

"Yes, lawyer. You are defending Jedi and Rebel soldiers." Empress Vader said coldly.

"You are leaking our confidential information to traitors!" First Brother yelled in anger.

"Not only that, also heard a rumor that you were hiding Jedi." Fourth Sister said coldly.

"That’s because they asked me to defend them." I said seriously and without fear.

"How dare you defend traitors!" Emperor and Empress Vader shouted in anger.

"Then how will you take responsibility for your actions that undermine the rule of law?" I said defiantly.

"Next time you defend traitors, I will have you executed for treason!" Emperor and Empress Vader yelled in anger, and left my law office with two Inquisitors, First Brother and Fourth Sister.

A few days later, after completing my work, I suddenly encountered Grand Inquisitor, a Leader of the Inquisitorius, as well as Starkiller, formerly known as Galen Marek, a Emperor Vader’s apprentice and a Sith Lord, on my way home from work.

"What is your job?" Grand Inquisitor said coldly.

"I am a New Lawyer of Coruscant." I said.

"I heard a rumor these days that you’re defending traitors." Starkiller said coldly.

"It is my job to defend the defendants." I said in a dark voice.

"Your voice is dark, so I’ll spare you just this once." The Grand Inquisitor and Starkiller said with a suspicious look on their faces, and left this place.

Empress Vader cursed loudly. She undid her hair from its form it was in and let long, brown curls run down her back. She walked into the Senate.

"Senators you must listen to me. I can assure you that the issue at hand will be token care of." she said.

"You're one to talk! The Emperor is your husband." screamed a small senator.

"Which means I can tell him to fix this. Please listen to me." Empress Vader screamed over the noise.

"What happened to the real Senator of Naboo? Where is she? All we have here is Empress Vader!" yelled Senator Organa.

"You're right. I am Empress Vader. So I'll show you I'll show all of you." she said and she walked out back to her home, the Imperial Palace.

Leaving the Senators scared and shaky.

꧁༒༒꧂

Three weeks later, I could no longer tolerate the tyranny and brutality of the Emperor and Empress, so I leave Coruscant.

Meanwhile, while I was staying on Tatooine for a day, I happened to meet a Jedi Knight who was taking refuge here.

“Excuse me, but what is your job?” I said.

"I am a Jedi Knight. The Jedi protect peace in the galaxy." Jedi Knight answered kindly.

“So are the Jedi a righteous organization that fights against the Emperor and Empress?” I asked.

"Of course you are." Jedi Knight answered kindly.

“Then where are the Jedi Masters?” I asked.

“They are in Alderaan.” Jedi Knight answered kindly.

“Thanks for the good information.” I said gratefully.

“You’re welcome.” Jedi Knight responded kindly.

So I leave Tatooine and go to Alderaan.
