CHAPTER-2

--Padme POV—

After Nexu attacked me, I found myself in Anakin's arms before I knew what had happened. The man that I love. It was hard for me to accept this, but I finally did it. I love him. Just like he loves me. But when I looked at Anakin's face, it was different from his usual self. My Ani wouldn't look so angry. I've only seen him in this state once. When he went to save his mother. I don't want to see him like this. I want to see him with his usual playful, daring and loving eyes.

With these thoughts, I reached out and touched his face.

"Anakin it's okay… I'm fine."

He looked at me, and after a moment of silence, his expression changed from anger to melancholy.

"No Padme it's not okay, you're hurt and I let that happen."

I punched his arm lightly as I said,

"Ani, it's not your fault I wanted to come here... also nothing happened to me. It's just a small wound. What do you think I am, a weak princess waiting for her knight or something?"

Anakin's expression became complex again, but he finally gave me a faint smile and

"I don't know what to do with you," he said.

"Of course you'll be there to help with any danger I'm in." I said and we smiled together.

Then Anakin turned his attention to my wound and touched it gently.

"ahh.."

"I thought it was just a minor wound?" he said with a mischievous look.

I punched his arm with a small pout in response.

"Stop kidding Anakin"

"haha... sorry lady"

"huh... so what are you doing"

"I'm just trying something to do that I can't do a long time ago"

Anakin slowly put his hand on my wound and closed his eyes. Then I felt something covering my whole body. It was a beautiful feeling, and it was coming from Anakin. Then something happened that I never expected. My wound was healing.

--Anakin POV—

padme was just as I always remembered her. Brave and my good-hearted lover who, although hurt, thinks of me more than herself. I know she's behaving like this so I don't blame myself. But I feel her suffering. Maybe I can try it. Something I tried and failed in my previous life. Force healing.

I focused on power with all my concentration. I use all the emotions I feel for this purpose.

My joy, the joy of having a new chance...

my anxiety, the possibility that I'd come back to screw everything up again...

my love for padme and for everyone I lost when I fell into darkness...

my anger, my anger at myself and those who use me as their tool...

Normally I shouldn't be doing this to use force heal. It was something that would fail all known light and dark side force healing techniques. Using both positive and negative emotions would prevent me from controlling opposing sides of power.

But I finally understood one thing, and it had taken a lifetime, a lot of experience and mistakes on both sides of the force to understand it.

I was not tied to any aspect of the force. I was the chosen one. I had to strike the balance, as proved years ago in Mortis. I cannot balance the force as a normal jedi or sith. The power was one with its dark and light sides. There will always be darkness and light in the universe. My task was to accept the light and the dark to a certain extent and to use them in balance.

and it happened as i thought. The Force moved with me as if it were a joint decision, something that had to happen. I wasn't giving orders to the force. Nor was I begging the Force to have my will. I just wanted it to happen, but I wanted it with all my heart and it happened. My theory was correct. I was not limited to one aspect of the Force. In fact, the Force had no direction. We, the jedi and the sith, had only narrow-mindedly limited the Force.

When I opened my eyes, Padme's wound was healed. I could see the surprise on her face.

"It's called force healing. Jedi healers use a similar variant. I've tried it before but never been able to do it."

"The force...is truly an amazing thing."

"yes Padme, in many ways it's even more amazing than our dreams"

As we spoke, hundreds of lightsabers opened up one after the other in the arena. In the meantime, the Geonosians fled the arena by flying. And just then, as master Windu jumped into the arena, hundreds of battle droids stormed the arena, and more to come.

I remember most of the Jedi here today died. It was a great loss for the Jedi temple. In fact, it shows how little the Jedi understand about war. Sending hundreds of people without a plan to an enemy base they know nothing about is a truly brilliant idea...

While dodging the blaster bolts, the two Jedi gave Obi Wan and me our lightsabers. Meanwhile, Padme also bought a blaster. So we got involved in the arena war.

In the middle of the war, I started to feel different. I felt excitement in a way I hadn't felt in a long time. Deflecting them with my lightsaber as hundreds of blaster bolts come towards me. It was just like a game but an easy game. With all the experience I've had in my previous life, it's a little easy for me to fight droids here.

I could feel the surrounding jedi falling one by one. Meanwhile, I was standing in the middle of the arena. I haven't moved since the war started.

--Dooku POV—

As I watched the jedi in the arena fall one by one, something caught my attention. That brat, Skywalker... not even moving, was projecting all the incoming blaster bolts back to the droids with a lightsaber in one hand. The previous showdown was already surprising, but it looks like he's pretty good at using lightsabers as well. This is bad for us, however, as the jedi spotting him slowly form a defensive circle next to the boy in the center of the arena. Let's see how well the young padawan can deal with the droidekas.

While I was thinking, the Droidekas had already surrounded the remaining Jedi at the center and quickly took up positions and activated their shields. However, my eyes widened as I witnessed one of the most surprising situations I have ever seen in my life...

Hundreds of blaster bolts fired by the droidecas were frozen in the air! amid all the shocked eyes, Skywalker closed his eyes in concentration. What happened next was even more surprising. Skywalker slowly opened his eyes and began to raise his hands in the air, at the same time the droidecas began to rise to air.

With a single forward flick of Skywalker's arms, the droidecas were sent to crash into the arena wall. Soon after, their own blaster bolts rained down on the droidecas, whose shields had been turned off by the crash with the wall. After a while, there was a silence in the arena...But after a short wait, I heard Skywalker's voice.

"Is that all you have, Dooku?"

It was very humiliating for me to be teased by a padawan even though he had great power. So I'm grinding my teeth

"If you want more, you'll get it kid." I said.

"bring it"

At my command, hundreds of new droids entered the arena, but just as they were about to fire, a sound was heard. The sound of a spacecraft. Then, out of nowhere, carriers full of soldiers fired, forming a shield around the jedi. I could see Yoda in one of the vehicles. We made eye contact with him for a moment, but the next moment they took all the Jedi and left the arena with the carriers.

The war had begun.
