Pronker - It's actually not this story I had writers block on. I wrote this entire thing in one night. Granted it was an all nighter and I still needed desperate editing, but there was no blocking on this. It's this other fanfic I'm working on. Anyway, I guess switching gears worked because I've now got 15,000 words in that story :) I think I found my cure for writers block, edit an older piece and then go back to it.

Jedi Angel001 and TheMacUnleashed - I'm glad you liked what I did with the last chapter. I didn't want it too seem like he was going to be forgiven so easily.

HiddenJediLover - The way I end this chapter makes it seem like after his five people Anakin can really visit anyone he wants after his first five people. But in my mind it's more that the Force takes him where he needs to go, not where he wants to go, which is what Shmi told him. He'll see Padme again when he needs to.

A/n: So this is my last chapter. It's the shortest chapter of them all but I think it wraps things up nicely. Please review. :)

Mastrada101, AnnLay, Hoysterrule123 and HiddenJediLover, this chapter's for you.

The lava surrounded me, consumed me. "No!" I shouted. Hadn't I already made this part of my transformation? I had taken on my cybernetic body; I had felt the pain of fire. Why was I burning again?

I saw a young version of Obi-Wan from across the lava river, the one I dueled on Mustafar. This time I was in too much pain to feel anger. "You were my brother, Anakin," he said. "I loved you." Those words had haunted me everyday for the last twenty years. And he had the nerve to say them again.

This time, though, I asked for help, nay, I begged for it. But there was nothing he could do. I just sunk down further into the lava.

I opened my eyes. I was in a heavily populated forest again. This time it was night and I was in some sort of tree village. There had to be a lot of fog around because it looked hazy, as if it wasn't really there. "You look good," a familiar voice said.

A flash of anger went through me.

"Control you feelings, padawan."

"Why didn't you save me?" I asked.

Obi-Wan walked towards me. He looked old again, like the day I killed him. But he looked as alive as ever. He wasn't even transparent like the world around us. "I couldn't save you," Obi-Wan admitted, "The dark side had consumed you."

"I meant a minuet ago…when I was sinking in the lava…"

Obi-Wan smiled. "You were being purified, padawan." We began to walk through forest. I could hear music from afar.

"But that girl said I would never be clean," I told him.

He shrugged, "The temptations of the dark side are powerful, even here in the Netherworld. But I trust you Anakin, I trust you won't make the same mistakes twice."

I noticed that my limbs had been replaced again with flesh. I wondered what was the point of me gaining my cybernetics back if I was just going to lose them again. Even my right arm was flesh.

"Master," I said. Obi-Wan stopped in front of me. He didn't turn around to look at me, but somehow I knew he was smiling. It felt strange to call him master, but it also felt right. "I'm sorry," I said.

Obi-Wan turned around, showing to me he did in fact have a smile. "I know, Padawan."

There wasn't anything else to say. He knew my regret was real and we both knew only time, not words, could heal the wounds between us.

We began to walk towards a bonfire. I noticed rebels and Ewoks dancing and celebrating. "How long have I been dead?" I asked.

Obi-Wan shrugged, "A few hours."

"Strange," I said, "It felt like months."

"Time in the Netherworld travels differently," he told me, "What feels like seconds could be years, and what feels like years could be seconds."

We stop at the edge of the forest. I could finally make out the figures in front of me. "Master Yoda?" I said.

"Repented, you have," he said. While the wise Jedi usually annoyed me with his whacked up sentence structure tonight I had found comfort in it. "A long journey ahead, there still is."

I nodded at him and look at the partygoers. I noticed my son lost in thought. He looked over at us and smiled. There is balance if the Force tonight. I smiled back.
