Ok so I'm putting my other stories on hold to write this story. All my other stories are getting a little boring to write. This story is about if Anakin didn't cut off Mace Windu's hand in ROTS. I highly recommend checking out .5851's story "The Order Redeems"! My favorite fan fiction on the site. Anyways ill start the story.

Anakin walked into Palpatine's office and saw Mace Windu holding his lightsaber against Palpatine's throat. He hadn't arrived to late to save the only man that could save his wife. But he thought to himself, 'did this man really have that power?'
"You are under arrest, my lord!" Mace Windu said in his signature casual but with a hint of anger tone.
Palpatine spots Anakin approaching and smiles to himself but not so anyone notices. "Anakin. I told you it would come to this… I was right… The jedi are taking over!" Palpatine could sense the conflict within Anakin.
"The oppression of the Sith will never return. You have lost!" Mace Windu said to Palpatine.
"No. No, NO! YOU HAVE LOST!" Palpatine said sending force lightning at Mace Windu. The Jedi Master blocked it with his lightsaber and sent it back at the Sith Lord. What Mace didn't know was that this was all part of the plan. "He is a traitor!" Palpatine screamed.
"He is the traitor, ahhhhh!" Mace Windu yelled.
"I have the power to save the ones you love," Palpaine said weakly, "you must choose!"
"Don't listen to him Anakin! Ahhhh!" Mace Windu yelled.
Anakin thought to himself. Then he remembered what Palpatine told him. Darth Plagueis was the only one that could save loved ones. He did teach everything to his apprentice but that was probably a trick by Palpatine.
"Don't let him kill me," Palpatine said weakly as the strength of his lightning began to fade, "I can't hold it any longer. I... I... I... Can't… I'm too weak… Anakin! Help me, help me!" Palpatine said as his lightning was gone.
Mace Windu pointed his lightsaber at Palpatine. It was the end for the evil Sith Lord. The Jedi had won the battle.
"I… I can't hold on any longer…" Palpatine said weakly.
"I will end this once and for all!" Mace Windu said.
"A Sith Lord is a danger to the Republic. Finish him!" Anakin said. He could save Padme himself.
"What? NO!" Palpatine screamed. He had predicted Anakin would help him.
Mace Windu swung down and a powerful gust of force energy exploded from the body. Once it all settled down the two Jedi looked at each other.
"Good work Skywalker. You saved the Republic and for that I thank you. You also battled a great temptation and for that I will speak highly of you next council meeting and we will see about this Jedi Master thing." Mace Windu said.
"Thank you Master. It is the least I could do for my outbreaks in council. I suggest you check his HoloFiles for any secrets left behind.
Within an hour they had the top slicer in the Republic in the office. They got the Holofiles and opened and discovered many things. For one there was an order inside a Clones data chip called Order 66 where a clone is ordered to kill every Jedi it sees. There were also droid deactivation codes and other stuff that was vital to a Republic victory.
"We should call an emergency Senate meeting. They need to elect a chancellor quick or else we will be under Martial law and that won't be what the citizens of the Republic want." Mace Windu said.
"Got it. I'll page the people of the Senate. You get the Holorecordings of the event so we have proof he is a Sith Lord," Anakin said, "this is Jedi General Anakin Skywalker. This is an emergency notification to all Senate members. There will be an emergency Senate meeting in an hour. Get there as soon as possible."

The Senate was packed with senators. Anakin stood with Mace Windu in one of the floating pods at the center of the room. He noticed it was time to start the meeting and nudged Mace Windu signaling for him to begin.
"Greetings Senators," Mace Windu said waiting for them to quite own, "as you may have noticed Chancellor Palpatine is not here right now. I reveal to you that he is a Sith Lord and I have solid evidence of this." Mace Windu used the force to begin the HoloRecording.
All throughout the recording Senators gasped. They were in shock that there beloved Chancellor was a Sith Lord. After the recording was over the whole Senate was silent.
"The Jedi Council arrests Mas Amedda, Sim Aloo, Janus Greejatus, and the rest of his advisors," Mace Windu said, "they will be questioned in front of the Senate right now. A trial will be held later in time."
The three were brought into a senate pod and flown into the center of the building. All the eyes of the senate were watching.
"Mas Amedda. You were always around the Chancellor… Did he ever talk about his Sith business?" Mace Windu asked.
"I have the right to remain silent." Mas Amedda said.
"You realized you just admitted you knew about him being a Sith." Anakin blurted out. He looked at Mace Windu because he wasn't supposed to talk but Mace seemed ok with it.
"I knew he hated the Jedi but I didn't know his plots were as sinister as what they are." Mas Amedda said.
"We didn't tell anyone what he planned. You knew all along what he was going to do." Mace Windu said.
"What…. No, no, no I didn't." Mas Amedda said.
"Treason against the Republic results in the death sentence." Mace Windu said. The Senate roared with approval.
"Calm down! Calm down! The trial will be in a few months… For now we will collect data and you three will need lawyers. We don't know much about the other two so we will look into it." Anakin said.
"For now you will elect a new Chancellor. Master Skywalker will oversee the vote put in by the Senate. Choose wisely." Mace Windu said. The pod flew over to the side and dropped him off then flew back to the center.
"Ok. I want everyone to send in three people other than themselves as nominations for Chancellor." Anakin said.
Anakin watched the senators start to talk it over. For the first time he noticed Padme in her pod. She was talking with Jar Jar and an advisor. He smiled as he thought about their unborn baby. He was glad he didn't choose the dark side. That baby would be born into a harsh environment.
He looked down and started to see numbers and names come in. At the top of the list was Padme. This was getting interesting. Next was Bail Organa and then Mon Mothma. The fourth nominee was Orn Free Taa.
"Ok. After all the nominations. He broadcasted the results on the HoloNet. Number one is Senator Amidalla. Number two is Senator Organa. Number three is Senator Mothma. Number four is Senator Taa. The four choices have been posted on your HoloNet's. Choose one of the four to be your Chancellor."
He watched as it was a battle between Bail Organa and Padme. He was happy with either one. Both were friends although he was rooting for Padme a little more. Then suddenly Padme's vote's sky rocketed. After a ten minutes the screen said 'all votes used'.
"Looks like Senator Amidalla is now Chancellor Amidalla. Congratulations. I will let the new Chancellor get things all set and going. Good night and may the force be with you." Anakin said saluting to the senate and then walked out the doors into the lobby.
Anakin hopped onto the speeder he borrowed and rode back to the Jedi Temple. He was so happy Padme had won Chancellor. He felt like he could tell the world him and Padme were married. But he couldn't, it didn't work like that.
For the first time in a long time he thought about Ahsoka. He had loved her like a daughter. She was gone, he couldn't go and find her. It didn't work like that. Sure the council had flaws but if it could be led in the right direction than, than the Jedi would be better off.
He arrived at the hanger and was met by Mace Windu and a whole bunch of other Jedi. They were all smiling at him, except for Windu but he never smiled. Everything was serious to him.
"Skywalker. Never thought you'd be saving our skins." Shaak Ti said smiling as he got off the speeder.
"The galaxy is full of surprises Shaak. That's just one of them. I can give you guys a whole lot more." Anakin said as he thought about him and Padme.
"Well there's time for that later Skywalker. For now we must contact Master Kenobi and find out how it's going on Utapau." Mace Windu said as he led them up to the council chambers.

Well that is chapter 1 of my new story. Thanks for reading and I am open to suggestions as always. Don't worry Kenobi isn't dead or anything. It's just I don't want my first chapter to be too long.
