Thank you all for bearing with me and sticking with this story, I apologize for the long wait and for republishing the story again. I promise this will be my final redo and this will be as good as I can make it. I hope you enjoy the story, please do not forget to review and tell me what you think.

Chapter 1

"Anakin, please you must not let him kill me, together we can learn the power to save the one you love!

With a shocked look on his face Anakin asks "What did you say?"

Palpatine squints his eyes in annoyance at the question, but answers none the less.

"I said I am the only hope you have at stopping your vision from coming true. Join me and I will teach you the power to save her."

Looking betrayed and horrified all at once, Anakin, replies in a fierce tone

"No, you said together we would learn the power to save her. When I came to you earlier; you told me that you already knew this power!"

"Anakin my boy, join me and all your troubles will disappear."

"Don't listen to him, Anakin, he is trying to turn you against yourself and the Jedi!"

"Anakin, you must join me!"

"No! You have been manipulating me since I was a child; I will not turn to the dark side, it would break Padme's heart to see me fall."

"Is that your final decision?"

"Yes, I will not join you."

"So be it."

Cackling like the mad man he is, Sidious, uses the force to push Mace out the window before he can react.

"What have you don-ahhhhhh!"

With so much turmoil running through him, Anakin, was not able to sense the entrance of another into the chancellor's office, his distraction was costly as the assailant struck him in the back with a blast of force lighting throwing him across the room to land where Master Windu was standing not seconds before.

"Foolish Jedi. I gave you a chance at unlimited power and you threw it away, for what? The Jedi all but killed your mother and they would have you give up your marriage for some misguided fools prophecy. Now before you die, I would like you to meet my new apprentice; I believe you know each other."

Anakin, stands only to look in horror as the face of the mysterious assailant reveals none other than.

"Barriss! But how? You were imprisoned after Ahsoka's trial."

"Hehehehehahahe! Anakin my dear boy, I am the chancellor of the entire Republic; it is but child's play to release a prisoner and pardon them of all crimes. When you killed my former apprentice, it gave me the chance to bring a younger Jedi under my thumb, I had hopped you too would join me, but Barriss here is more than enogh and who better, after all she came so close to succeeding in her plan against padawan Tano. A little more training and she will surpass my expectations of one so young."

"But Why? Barriss why would you join him? You are not a Sith!"

"Because Anakin, he gave me my freedom and with it my dream of the galaxy returning to a peaceful place will come true."

Sidious with his scraggy voice speaks words that will echo in Anakin's memories long after this day is done.

"Now my apprentice, your first order shall be the death of the Jedi's oh so precious Chosen One, Do not fail me!"

"You heard my master, now die by my hand Jedi scum!"

"You can't beat me Barriss and you know it."

"I'm more powerful than when we last crossed blades, Skywaker, the Dark Side has made me stronger than I ever thought possible and now you shall feel my wrath."

"I can't let you win Barriss. I am truly sorry that you chose this path, but I will not let the Sith control the galaxy."

Barris jumps at Anakin, lightsaber flaring to life ready to strike him down but he sidesteps the downward slash at the last second and activates his own blade. Slashing to the left Anakin, gashes Barriss face; just inches from loosing her head, Barriss, counters with an aggressive horizontal stroke only to begin a saber lock.

A nasty smirk on her face, Barriss, sends Anakin flying to the edge of the window with a force push only to have him to do the same; she hits her head and goes limp against the wall. Anakin puts his weapon back on his belt and grabs his communicator "R2 can you read me?" "Beep boop breep!"

"Yes I'm alright, listen I don't have much time I need you to go to Padme tell her to warn the Jedi at the temple to evacuate."

"Beep Boo Bop Beeep!"

"I know buddy don't worry about me just protect Padme will yo-ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Anakin let his guard down for to long and was shocked out the window by Sidious.

Barriss POV

I start to stand only to hear

"You have failed your first assignment Darth Barriss."

As I look up, I see my master raise his gangly old hands and the next thing I know is pure pain the likes of which I have never before felt.

"Fail me again and I shall not be so forgiving."

He walks slowly to his desk and pushes a button for the holo terminal.

"Commander execute Order 66."

"Yes my lord."

Turning to face me, my master gives me an order.

"Now my apprentice you shall take the 501st and attack the Jedi Temple, leave none alive.

"Yes my master." (Watch your back old man,one day I will have your head and the galaxy shall be mine alone to protect and rule.)

Normal POV

As Barriss turns and walks out the door a viscous scowl marking her face; Sidious looks out the broken window and puts a nasty smirk on his face knowing that the galaxy is now his to command and soon there would be no one in his way to ultimate power.

As Anakin falls from the Chancellors office, all he can think about is how he failed and how he doesn't want this to be the way he dies. (I can't believe this is the way I'm going to die, by the force all the times Obi Wan and I got into insane situations and getting pushed out the window is the way I'm gonna go? No I have to stay alive; the order needs me, Obi Wan needs me, Snips needs me, my angel needs me, but most importantly my future child needs me. I won't die here not now...)

"ughhh!"

In the middle of his thought process, Anakin, smashes into something hard and made of metal.

"Beep Booo Beeep Boo.'

"Aghhh what, R2, where did you come from? Wait never mind that buddy you saved my life."

"Beeep Boo Beee!"

"Ya ya I know, Obi Wan and I would have been dead long ago if it wasn't for you."

Anakin gets into the cockpit knowing that staying outside any longer in the middle of Coruscant traffic is not the smartest decision.

"Alright R2, set a course for home, I need to see Padme and tell her about the Chancellor."

As the yellow Jedi star fighter speeds across the sky, Anakin, gets on his comm.

"Come on Ashoka, pick up!"

'Beep'

"Ahsoka Tano here, who's speaking?"

"Sigh! Snips thank the force."

"Master, what's wrong? Do you need something?"

"Where are you now?"

"Well a few Initiates snuck out of the temple and I volunteered to look for them."

"Are they with you?"

"Yes why?"

"Listen Ashoka I need you to take them to Dex's, tell him I sent you and stay there until either me or Obi Wan comes to get you."

"What's wrong master?"

"No time to Explain Snips just do what I say!"

"Alright alright. Master."

"Yes?"

"May the force be with you master."

"And you as well Snips."

"Ashoka out!"

(Alright now that Ashoka is safe I need to get a hold of the temple) the moment he got done with that thought, his comm went off.

"Skywalker here."

"Anakin, where are you? The clones are attacking, it's the 501st."

"Master Drallig, it's the chancellor, he is the Sith we have been looking for."

"I know Skywalker, Master Windu told me before he left, I assume from his absence that he and the other masters failed in their mission?"

"Yes Master. When I arrived at his office Master Windu was fighting Sidious alone."

"Skywalker, I don't know how much longer we can hold out; the younglings are in the council chambers as we speak, there are not enough of us to protect them and fight the clones back at the same time. You must save them and get to a safe place."

"I'm on my way. Master there is one more thing."

"What is it?"

"Barriss Offee, she has become Sidious new apprentice."

"I know Skywalker, I saw her cut down many of our padawans without a single bit of remorse. Don't think on it, she has chosen her path and it will lead her to self destruction in time."

"I know Master, but it could have been me and I just can't stand the thought of my padawan finding out about this."

"Anakin the force will show her the truth. You might as well be the one to tell her. Now hurry my position is about to be overrun, Drallig out."

As the senate apartments come into view, Anakin, speeds up knowing there is not much time remaining.

"R2 I need you to go to Padme and tell her what has happened and to find Ahsoka at Dex's."

"Beeeeep bo boooo beeep!"

"I know buddy but I need to save the younglings and I don't need Padme worrying about me right now, so just go."

Minuets Later 500 Republica

Padme Naberrie Amidala Skywalker's Residence

Beep-Beep-Beep

"Who could that be at a time like this? 3PO get the door please!"

"Oh of course mistress Padme."

Shuffling to the door 3PO is surprised by who it is.

"R2-D2, what are you doing here? Where is master Anakin?"

"Beeep Brooop Bop Beeep Bee Bop."

"Oh my!"

"Who is it 3PO?"

"R2-D2, mistress Padme and he says master Anakin has left a message for you with him."

"Ani?"

Padme hurries into the living room as fast as her pregnant belly will allow.

"What is it R2?"

"Beeep Boo, Booop Bo Bee Beep Boo Roo Reeeee Bop."

"He says master Ani wishes you to go and meet miss Ashoka at Dex's Diner and to stay there until he or Obi Wan arrives."

"What, why would Ani want me and Ashoka to stay there?"

"Beeep Booo Reeee."

"What did he say 3PO?"

"Oh my! Mistress Padme, R2 says that Chancellor Palpatine is the Sith Lord that has orchestrated this whole war and if he finds you he will take your child away to train him or her as a Sith. That is why master Ani wishes you to go to miss Ahsoka."

"What? That's horrible how could anyone be so cruel? Where is he R2? I know Anakin told you where he was going, please tell me!"

"Beep Brooo Reet Rooo Bop."

"It seems master Anakin did not want you to worry about him, and has told R2 here not to oh what is the human expression? Ah yes spill the beans so to say!"

Pleading with our favorite astromech, Padme, is fuming internally about her husband and his over protectiveness, although even she knows that being with child does not allow for great usefulness.

"Fine you win R2 lets go!" under her breath Padme whispers "I'm sure Ashoka will tell me what I want to hear." Not knowing that even she does not understand what is going on.

"3PO, pack my things and place them in the spe..." 'Thud!'

"Oh my! Who are you? What have you done to mistress Padme?"
