(The man behind the mask. )

Chapter thirteen:

Owen and Luke went home after the accident. While Venus went to Obi- wan's home. So what's your name? Asked Obi- Wan. I told you it's Ja- ni. Said Venus.

No, I mean your other name.

Oh, it's Darth Venus.

Well Venus you came to learn more about Anakin Skywalker didn't you.

Yes, sir. Obi- wan put his hand on his chin and rubbed the beard he had grown. Anakin was my pupil. Me and my master had found her on Tatooine. We brought him back with us because we thought he might be the Chosen One.

The Chosen One? Said Venus. Yes, the Chosen One prophesied to bring balance to the Force and destroy the Sith. Although now it seems that we misread it. The first time I started to notice Anakin's change was after the battle of Genosis. I thought nothing of it at the time. All Jedi have doubts and feel stress when they are still Padawans. If Anakin had only told me about his wife and the other problems he was having. I could have helped him. I could have done more.

Anakin had a wife?

Yes, her name was Padme. I think it was one of the reasons he turned. He was so intent on trying to save her that he would have done anything. Obi- wan put his face in his hands. His words were a bit muffled. I failed him. I wasn't ready to train someone like him. I still remember him burning from the fire of Mustafar. Him saying that he hated me and the way he looked at me. I thought of that man as a brother and tried to help him the way a brother would. Maybe if I tried more to save him... Maybe.

Don't beat yourself up. It wasn't your fault. I have been seeing Anakin's past. Is their any planet that you can think of I could go to next?

Try Naboo that is where he and Padme got married. Be careful cause I know Vader will not let something that he wants get away that easily. You can stay here until nightfall and then go out onto your Interceptor.

Thank you sir. That night Venus got into the cockpit and prepared to blast off. Obi- wan spoke to Venus telepathically before she went out of orbit. Do not fully give into the darkness like Anakin did I can sense good in you. And Venus may be Force be with you. Venus smiled and said. May the Force be with you too old man. She blasted off into hyperspace.

Unknown to Venus Bobba Fett was on a dark side of the moon watching her jump into hyperspace. The only planet in that direction is Naboo. Fett hit the switch and the stars turned into streams of light as he left Tatooine for Naboo.

Meanwhile Darth Vader looked into files about Venus's family. Vader came to the document about her father. He looked at the medical records and saw something that puzzled him. It says here that he was sterile, he thought. It was possible that the wife had cheated, but Vader didn't think so from the way her records looked. She was to clean to do anything like that.

What are you Venus?.

Venus was walking around a castle she had recognized from a vision on her way here. She looked over the railings to see Anakin and Padme playing on the grounds of the castle.

She walked into a room and saw Anakin confess his love to Padme. Venus walked over and to what seemed like an altar and touched it.

As she touched it she saw Padme in a white gown and Anakin take her hand and put a ring on it. This must be where they got married she thought. Suddenly Venus felt a sting in her neck. I can't let down my guard. She fell to the floor.

Bobba fifty feet away lowered his rifle. Got you little girl. While she was sedated Venus saw another vision. It was on Mustafar again but this time it was Anakin and Padme talking.

You and I can rule the galaxy, make things the way we want them to be. I have become the most powerful Jedi ever and I'm doing it all for you.

Anakin your breaking my heart. You're going down a path I can't follow. The vision ended.

Vader stood over Venus and the Bounty Hunter took the money. Fett took out the credits and looked at it. Theirs a thousand more credits here than there is supposed to be.

I am going to need your service in the future and that is the down payment of what is to come.

I'll consider it. Fett walked out the door and closed it behind him. Vader sat in a chair next to Venus. Vader had done a blood test on her to find out who was really her mother and father. It turned out that the mother was actually her biological mother but the father wasn't.

What was also interesting Vader had done a blood test on himself and Venus's blood matched his own!

From what Vader could remember Anakin had never been on Revan 5. So how did she relate to him. Vader went deep into the Force and found out that there was a connection.

Then it came to Vader the prophecy said that there will be one to lead the Sith to victory and another to bring balance to the Force. Vader always thought that it was taking about one person, but maybe it was talking about two people!

Vader had led the Sith to victory could Venus be the one to bring balance back. He could not allow that. Vader ignited his lightsaber and held it up high.

Arrrghhh! Is all he could say as he plunged the lightsaber down.
