Chapter Text
Anakin Skywalker was furious as he exited the Council chamber of the Jedi Temple. His former Master was still alive and they wanted his reaction towards Obi-Wan's 'death'.
The Chosen One had enough. He was pushed around by the Jedi Council for far too long. He only got criticism and he was feared by them. All he wanted was to be accepted by others and inside, he was a fearful child, struggling to find his place in the big galaxy.
No, they would all pay. With their lives. As much as he loved Ahsoka as a sister, she was part of the Order and would try to make him come back. She would explain that it was the mistake on their part and everything would be alright.
No, Anakin had enough of the Order's idiocy. If they wanted his reaction to Obi-Wan's death, they got it, in the form of hatred and declaring that he had enough by leaving the Order for good.
So, he packed his things and tossed his lightsaber onto the floor of his quarters. He made sure that no one noticed his departure and left Corusant to make a new lightsaber.
Meanwhile, a four-year-old was lying in his cupboard. He silently sobbed as he was dying from his pain.
All he wanted was to be loved, but his family hated him for the reason he did not know. They did not give him any gifts or even love. They denied him food and did not give him a proper bedroom.
Unknown to him, he would have a family soon enough. A family, that would love him.
Anakin constructed a crossguard lightsaber with a red Kyber Crystal. He did have visions, where his and Padme's grandson, Ben Solo would construct a similar lightsaber, but a green one.
No, Padme deserved a better husband than he would ever be. She was right, their relationship was not meant to be and they should not have married.
So, he used the Force to shatter both the wedding ring and the bond. He made sure that his Jedi Lightsaber was left behind. That life was nothing to him now.
Anakin meditated as he then felt a cry through the Force. It was a plea for help on the distant world.
The Dark Jedi thought to use this to find a Force-Sensitive apprentice to train. Ahsoka was no longer Anakin's apprentice, so he shattered the bond with her and was now ready to take on another apprentice.
Padme felt the bond shatter as she grunted in pain. She was one of those, who attended Obi-Wan Kenobi's funeral after he was killed by a bounty hunter named Rako Hardeen.
Then, the message came that her husband left the Order and that Obi-Wan faked his death for the undercover mission to find out about the plot to kidnap the Supreme Chancellor Palpatine.
She hoped that with the news that his former Master alive, he would return. Sadly, her hopes were crushed when she found out that it was the revelation that Obi-Wan was alive made her husband leave the Order, never to be seen again. The lightsaber was also found in Anakin's quarters.
Padme hoped that Anakin would forgive and return. Little did she know that Anakin had different plans for her and Obi-Wan when they would meet again.
Obi-Wan realized how he screwed up. His former Padawan left the Order because of the revelation that he faked his own death.
He hoped that Anakin would forgive him when he had the chance to talk and explain that he did not mean to hurt his former Padawan in such a brutal way.
But Anakin's departure spelled one sentence-"I've had enough of your idiocy and trickery!"
Also, things turned bad from worse, when Palpatine was revealed to be a Sith Lord by Count Dooku. Mace Windu and Obi-Wan arrested both Sith Lords.
Palpatine revealed everything that he wanted to do with Anakin and he was killed by Rex, Anakin's Clone Captian.
The Jedi Council felt very ashamed and distraught. Their actions nearly led the Chosen One to join the Sith and they blamed themselves for it.
Now, they had to mend the damage that they have done and find Anakin, so they could amend to him and tell him that they were very wrong about him.
Unfortunately, they would not see him for a very long time.
Anakin found the planet and followed the Force to a house with number 4 on it. The houses around were the cookie-cutter versions of the one, where the distress came from.
It was night-time, so he used this as his chance to find the Force-Sensitive and leave peacefully. If the Force-Sensitive was abused, he would make sure the abusers would pay with their lives.
So, he used the small device to open the look on the door and entered the house. He saw that the house was cleaned and there was no single dust or spot anywhere. He used the flashlight that he packed to search in the dark.
He found the cupboard and quietly opened the door. He found the abused child, who was on the verge of death and needed the medical help immediately.
He picked up the boy and cradled him in his gloved arm. He wrapped the cloak around the tiny body and proceeded to leave.
Suddenly, he heard the lights turn on and the doors open. He saw the couple run downstairs. The husband was obese, while his wife had a horse neck.
At the same time, a cat was watching the scene, that was going on at 4 Privet Drive. It saw the stranger and watched him open the cupboard and take the boy out.
It decided to alert other cats at the house it lived and its owner to a stranger, who had the bad intentions with the child.
Soon, a woman was running out of the house what was going on at 4 Privet Drive.
Anakin stared at the family as he held the boy in his gloved arm. He used the Force to interrogate them and find out about the child he found.
Once he finished, he shook his head as he spoke: "So, you abused the poor child just because of the hatred? How typical."
"Please, let us live," the female slaver pleaded. She saw Anakin's yellow eyes burning with anger and hatred.
"I would let you live, but because you treated your nephew as a slave, I will not let you live. Both of you," Anakin replied.
"What about Dudley? He doesn't deserve to be killed!" the female slaver pleaded with the Dark Jedi once again.
"Oh, him? He will suffer for your crimes of abusing an innocent child, who has done nothing to you. Alone and friendless future and there will be nothing to clear the name of his family from the blood that will forever stain it. And you will watch it, from the hell of your own making. Say goodbye to your miserable lives," Anakin said as he ignited his crossguard lightsaber and stabbed them.
He heard the kid crying and was satisfied. The slavers were dead and their nephew had the Force potential to train him as his next apprentice.
He put on his hood and left the Privet Drive as quiet as he came to the place. He noticed a woman who was running up to him, pulled her with the Force and wiped her memory of his visit to the slavers as her cats alerted her to it. He used the Force to keep the boy alive until he got to the ship and placed the mask onto the child's face
Anakin found out about the Blood Adoption and Blood-Adopted the little boy into his family to erase any possible signs that the boy was related to the slavers.
"You are my son now, the little one and the parents who abandoned you are no longer your family. Your name is Skylar Novalen now," he said as he kissed the scar. He wondered how it got there, but he would deal with it.
So, he set the course to Tatooine, to hide there. As much as he hated the place, he would manage. Besides, no Jedi would look for him there.
Arabella Figg came out to see what was going on in the Dursleys' house. Her cats alerted to a stranger, who wore dark robes and a cloak along with a hood walking to 4 Privet Drive.
She was horrified to find them dead. Dudley Dursley was crying with crocodile tears, as he demanded his mommy and daddy to wake up.
She then saw the cupboard and was horrified to find the blood on the sheets. There was also an empty bucket.
This horrified her. Harry was abused by his Muggle Relatives, who were supposed to care for their nephew. Someone found out and killed them for it in such a violent manner.
Death Eaters were out of the question, as the Dursleys were impaled with something. There was no blood on the floor, so Arabella had no idea what killed them.
Her cats led her to a stranger, who as walking away with Harry in his arms. However, he noticed her, pulled her with his opened palm and placed his two fingers onto her forehead, before he left her where she was. Before she passed out, she saw the sickly yellow eyes that had hatred and anger in them.
She was found by Albus Dumbledore, who was alerted to the wards going down on 4 Privet Drive. She did not remember anything at all.
Albus saw the murder scene and confirmed his fears-Harry Potter lived in the cupboard, instead of a proper bedroom. And he was abused for that matter. Minerva was right, the Dursleys were the worst Muggles and they were killed for it. He also felt the chill of the darkness in the place.
He had to find Harry, before his eleventh birthday or his disappearance would be known. He had to amend to the poor boy, who had suffered because he made a terrible choice with the home, where Harry would live after his parents' deaths.
Unknown to Albus, Harry Potter would have unforgiving nature, when he would come to Hogwarts. And Albus would make many mistakes while trying to amend for what he had done.
Meanwhile, Anakin smirked when he heard the news that he left the Order. He was having a drink when he looked up the news. To avoid being recognized, he dyed his hair blonde, tied it into a braid and wore lenses that made his eyes green. He used the makeup to cover his scar.
He also took on the identity of Hayden Novalen, while living on Tatooine. Only his childhood friends called him Anakin, when in private.
He came up with the story that he was wed to the woman that was Skylar's mother and she died due to the tragedy. He only found out now that he had a son and got him from the orphanage when he learned that Skylar was removed by the Child Services due to the abuse.
Now, Anakin was happy that he left the Order and prepared his plans to be set in motion. But first, he had a son to raise and clean up the mess on Tatooine.
