Padme lies on a cot/bed thing inside the ship with Obi-Wan beside her. He holds her hand gently, worrying about his friend.
Padme: Is he alright?
Obi-Wan: I don't know.
He looks sadly and does not speak. He brushes her hair back. Padme drops back into unconsciousness.
-------------------------------------------------
Anakin crawls up the bank, his body smoking. A shuttle flies overhead and lands.
The Imperial Shuttle closes its wings and settles on the highest of the Mustafar Landing Platforms. A platoon of clone troopers exit the craft, followed by Darth Sidious.
Darth Sidious walks in front of the clones on his way to get to Anakin at the edge of the lava pit.
Darth Sidious discovers what remains of Anakin and checks him out. He turns to the clones.
Darth Sidious: Anakin! Anakin! There he is. He's still alive. Get a medical capsule, immediately.
Clone Captain: Yes sir. Right away.
Several of them rush off as Darth Sidious puts his hand on Anakin's forehead.
-------------------------------------------------
On the isolated asteroid of Polis Massa, Yoda meditates.
Yoda: Failed to stop the Sith Lord, I have. Still much to learn, there is...
Qui-Gon: (voice) Patience. You will have time. I did not. When I became one with the Force I made a great discovery. With my training, you will be able to merge with the Force at will. Your physical self will fade away, but you will still retain your consciousness. You will become more powerful than any Sith.
Yoda: Eternal consciousness.
Qui-Gon: (voice) The ability to defy oblivion can be achieved, but only for oneself. It was accomplished by a Shaman of the Whills. It is a state acquired through compassion, not greed.
Yoda:... to become one with the Force, and influence still have... A power greater than all, it is.
Qui-Gon: (voice) You will learn to let go of everything. No attachment, no thought of self. No physical self.
Yoda: A great Jedi Master, you have become, Qui-Gon Jinn. Your apprentice I gratefully become.
Yoda thinks about this for a minute, then Bail Organa enters the room and breaks his meditation.
Bail Organa: Excuse me, Master Yoda. Y/N L/N has made contact. He's here for Obi-Wan and the Senator.
-------------------------------------------------
The clones have placed Anakin in a medical capsule. They float the wounded Sith Lord into the belly of the Imperial Cruiser. Darth Sidious follows the capsule into the ship. The ship takes off.
-------------------------------------------------
Y/N lands the Naboo Cruiser on the landing platform of the isolated post of Polis Massa. Yoda and Bail Organa, along with a ground crew, are waiting as the ramp lowers Y/N emerges with R2 in trail. He's looking around frantically
Bail Organa: She's in the medical center. They're trying to treat her.
Y/N nods and hurries to the medical bay
-------------------------------------------------
The shuttle lands. Darth Sidious and clone troopers leave the shuttle. Anakin's body is carried along in a floating medical capsule.
